"The media could not be loaded. It’s hella sturdy. Solid, great piece of wood. You have to assemble it on your own. We like the color choices. Your kids are NOT falling off this thing!We ended up buying a different stool for the bathroom we’ll use the most and will most likely put this stool in an upstairs bathroom where it’s not used much, but will be in the years to come. For our toddler, it’s very heavy and frustrating for him to try and move. It’s HUGE - which is good and bad for our family. So depending what age and what the need is for this stool, will depend if it fits your needs. We like it, it’s just not practical for us at the moment."
