Have been looking for a nice looking, affordable bench for quite some time now, and this fit the bill!  It's so much nicer then the normal, common espresso wood benches at the same price.  I like this one because it reminds me of a Restoration H piece, without the price tag.  It is nice and long, fit perfect for our breakfast table ("picnic" style wooden, and brown), and although it did not match the wood color, I didn't mind because it matched a console table we have in the same room.  I took a chance with mixing it up, but am pleased with my purchase.  Also very easy to assemble (did it myself!)

Pros: great value, easy assembly, get lots of compliments
Cons: cushion is not the most comfortable, fabric may be hard to clean with spills
