This bench is a beauty.  The woven leather top is beautifully done and appears to be very sturdy.  Two things we notice that make this four stars instead of five:  a crossbar in the middle of the bench is not comfortable if sitting in the center, and some of the finish appears to be applied more lightly, notably at the tops of legs.  For the price, this is a great piece for our window.  We purchased a cushion to go on top because our dog likes to look out the window.
