The short version is seat height with a compact 40cm footprint, which is what lets it fit a bathroom or a hallway corner.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n      \u003cdiv class=\"faq-q\"\u003eCan I put a drink on it?\u003c\/div\u003e\n      \u003cdiv class=\"faq-a\"\u003eYes, with a coaster or a small tray. The top is closely woven and solid, unlike the open lattice body, but a woven surface will not shed a spill the way timber does.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n      \u003cdiv class=\"faq-q\"\u003eIs it comfortable to sit on?\u003c\/div\u003e\n      \u003cdiv class=\"faq-a\"\u003eFor a while. A woven top has a little give and the height is right, so it suits an extra seat for half an hour rather than an armchair replacement. A cushion on top helps if it is getting regular use.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n      \u003cdiv class=\"faq-q\"\u003eCan I use it in a bathroom?\u003c\/div\u003e\n      \u003cdiv class=\"faq-a\"\u003eIn a well-ventilated bathroom, yes, kept away from direct splashing and out of the shower zone. Natural rattan handles humidity but not standing water.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n      \u003cdiv class=\"faq-q\"\u003eIs it heavy?\u003c\/div\u003e\n      \u003cdiv class=\"faq-a\"\u003eNo, it is light enough to move in one hand, which is one of the better things about it. A stool that gets carried between rooms is a stool that gets used.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n      \u003cdiv class=\"faq-q\"\u003eWill it hold its shape?\u003c\/div\u003e\n      \u003cdiv class=\"faq-a\"\u003eYes. The barrel form is woven over a frame, so it stands properly rather than flexing. The weave settles slightly with use, which is normal in handwoven rattan.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n      \u003cdiv class=\"faq-q\"\u003eWill it look exactly like the photograph?\u003c\/div\u003e\n      \u003cdiv class=\"faq-a\"\u003eClose, but the tone varies along every cane and between pieces because the rattan is natural and undyed. That variation is the character rather than a fault.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n      \u003cdiv class=\"faq-q\"\u003eCan I use it outdoors?\u003c\/div\u003e\n      \u003cdiv class=\"faq-a\"\u003eNo. Natural rattan does not tolerate rain or sustained damp, so it is an interior piece, and not one for a conservatory that gets condensation.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n      \u003cdiv class=\"faq-q\"\u003eHow is it delivered?\u003c\/div\u003e\n      \u003cdiv class=\"faq-a\"\u003eIt ships as a parcel rather than with our furniture courier.
