Someone bought this for Kristian from a garage sale. I decided to paint it black, like his furniture. After painting it I thought I should put a clear coat on to protect it. (I plan in having this in kristian's bathroom) Well, as you can see my nice black finish looks horrible. Looks like I'll be repainting but not anytime too soon. Also, the material I put on the seat is a leather like material. It is nice and would be wonderful if the clear protective coat (that is what the spray can said) would not have made the rest look terrible. Oh well.....
