Perfect little stool

This small stool is the perfect place to take a seat on. For such a small piece of furniture, you can tell a great amount of skilled work went into making it. The woodwork is carved so beautiful in a wonderful and unique shape while it looks made of a real gold! The seating cushion looks very plush and the perfect spot to take a quick rest on.
