The hourglass shape is even more striking in person, and the solid wood feet add a touch of elegance. It's the perfect height for resting my feet after a long day, and the craftsmanship feels top-notch.

The carved maple feet give it a nice sturdy feel, and at 18 inches wide it tucks perfectly next to my reading chair without hogging space. The hourglass curve is subtle in person, less sculptural statement than I expected but it grows on you.

The hourglass silhouette is what sold me — it looks like a little sculpture next to my reading chair instead of just another footstool. At 18 inches wide it tucks perfectly under my desk when I'm not using it.
