Gold Butterfly-Back Velvet Vanity Chair

Doing your face perched on the bed, or hunched over a backless stool, is how a five-minute routine turns into a sore back. This vanity stool with butterfly backrest sits 17.3 in. off the floor with a back to lean on, so you sit level with the mirror.

The back of this makeup vanity chair is an open loop of gold iron shaped like a bow, so it supports your spine while the mirror shows through it.

• Sit square to your reflection — 17.3 in. seat height, 30.7 in. tall overall, so measure your dressing table before ordering
• No creak when you drop into it — four tapered iron legs tied by an X crossbar, with a frame rated to 220 lb
• Soft where it counts — a 13.8 in. round seat, sponge-padded under a velvet-look cover
• Fits a tight bedroom vanity — the legs stand on an 11.8 x 11.8 in. footprint, and it ships flat with hardware included

Only the round seat cushion is dusty pink; the legs, crossbar and butterfly back are all gold.
