So glad I found this bench and thankful for all of the reviews that helped me make this purchase. I figured that the price meant it was not good quality, but this bench is everything I had hoped for. My boyfriend put together while I was away, and said it was easy, only about 8 screws to put together. I have accent pillows on the way to add to it, but even on its own, this bench added that welcoming feeling to our front door area that I was looking for. Highly recommend!
