"This is a conversation piece in my living room."
The workman ship on this item is beautiful. However, I am having difficulty getting all the holes to line up to assemble it. I am afraid of breaking it, so I will take it to a cabinet maker to help me. This is disappointing, but I am sure he will figure out how to get it together without damage.

"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.

"Unsurpassed Craftsmanship"
Beautifully finished and detailed small wood and leather chest, most apt for use as a jewelry box. The leather is finely embossed with Inca symbols. I was also surprised that it was larger than it appeared in the picture. This is true craftsmanship and quality. Recommend this artisan and his products highly!

"I LOVE this chest, but..."
The hinge is not working properly -- my husband will try to repair the cracked wood as the chest is absolutely gorgeous!
