Beautiful. Works nicely as a speaker stand. Unfortunately no hole in the top as shown in the picture. I was planning to use it to run the cord.

The garden stools itself when received had a dent in the ceramic on the top and one of the side holes that should have been pushed out before firing had a piece of ceramic still in it solid. Should have been a quality check before it was sent out. I was disappointed with the quality for the $150. I spent on this piece.
