I purchased this bench to sit under coat hooks in my Foyer and am very happy with the purchase. The fabric is a really light beige linen and the distressed finish on the legs and frame compliment it nicely. There was zero assembly - just take it out of the box and you're all set! Appears to be good quality and you won't find anything like it in a store. Would recommend it if you are searching for a small/low profile bench.
