Bench is sturdy so that is a real plus! There are “holes” in the top that other reviewers mentioned, assume that’s to give it a real wood look...however, the color is wayyyy off. Ordered gray to go with a gray and antique white table...pieced different chairs together and you can see in the picture this is more of a brown - closer to the antique white of the table legs than the gray of the chairs nearby. Definitely not the gray color we were expecting...but hard to buy online right now with COVID...is what it is I guess
