I was shopping for an ottoman when I found this Shabby Chic Square Stool. I wanted the dimensions but couldn't find them anywhere. When it came, the box was smaller than I expected. It's definitely not the ottoman I was shopping for, but it's so cute I'm keepng it. I'm going to use it as a plant stand when my great grandkids aren't here. I'm sure they'll want to sit on it when they are. They are 4 and 6 years old. Also, I'm not driving anymore so I'm going to make a patio out of my garage and it will look cute there. Not what I wanted, but the price was right and I'm happy with it. I hyst gave it 4 stars because it's not what I expected when I ordered it. I don't think the word 'Stool" was in the ad or I'd have known it couldn't be used as an ottoman. Besides, there are many times I need a stool and don't have one handy.
