I'm so happy that I ordered this particular garden stool. There were so many to choose from on OS. I needed white and the color on this stool is a true white. It is so, so pretty. Much prettier than what it shows on line. It is the perfect size for what I'm using it for. I ordered this on 7/25 and got it on 7/28. The shipping was so fast! This garden stool is not as large as some of them are, but I measured first to make sure it would fit in the space I placed it. It adds so much character to the space and I couldn't be more pleased. It is well made, solid, and has a flat top. You can definitely put a drink on the top of this without the drink sliding off. The picture may show a little indentation on top, but I assure you, it basically has a flat top. Love! Love!
