"Stunning craftsmanship!"
The hand tooling of the leather on this piece took my breath away, so I decided to give it to my dear friend as a housewarming gift and she loved it. The craftsmanship can?t be beat and it is truly heirloom quality.

"An Heirloom!"
The workmanship with the leather tooling and upholstery is outstanding. I have worked with both and can appreciate the precision displayed in my piece. I could not be more pleased. The assembly was not difficult. Each leg was numbered with its matching hole. That was very helpful because of the number of pegs involved that also needed to be aligned and because each handmade stool will have slight differences. Many thanks to the Rios family for their outstanding work.

"Wonderful addition to our home"
We love our new multipurpose stool. Excellent craftsmanship. The hand tooled leather top is beautiful. It has been used as a stool, a footrest, and a low table. Very, very sturdy and a perfect size. Very easy to move around. It s very popular and has caught the eye of most visitors and several have expressed interest in buying one for themselves. I m writing this review as I am buying one for a friend.

"A Queens Treasure"
Oh my what a masterpiece! Ive been waiting several years for this chair. It arrived VERY well wrapped and all in order. The instructions were mostly clear though the pics were a bit dark. It wouldve helped to have items labelled A,B,C. I needed a second pair of hands to securely hammer in the back and arms. We did have to file down the two grooves but all then fit well. When all was done I sat back in awe. The carving and quality is superior and Id say its my fave Novica buy thus far. I did make one error in placing the bottom arches on the wrong side. Still it is a beauty and makes the back of the chair a beauty as well!
