I love, love this bench which was a perfect fit for my GuestRm.  It was easy to assemble (I did it myself and I'm quite an all thumbs person).  It even matched (without intention) the curtains in the GuestRm as the colour is true to the online pic and therefore blends with a semi-English country look.  I'm almost 200 lbs and it felt sturdy when I sat on the bench.  A wonderful enhancement offering storage as well for when the grandchildren visit with their multiple toys!
