Although waisted stools with horse-hoof feet are common, the current pair of huanghuali stools are distinguished for its elegant proportion with inward-curved legs. Wang Shixiang wrote in Masterpieces from the Museum of Classical Chinese Furniture, Chicago and San Francisco, 1995, p. 34, that the current pair 'will always rank among the best examples of these basic forms'.
Compare to an example in the Beijing Central Academy of Arts and Crafts with a smaller seat frame and straighter, thinner legs, illustrated by Wang Shixiang in Classic Chinese Furniture: Ming and Early Qing Dynasties, San Francisco, 1986, p. 61, no. 15.
