It’s a cheap piece of furniture. It’s made with pressed wood… or something along those lines. The top cushion also feels cheap but I didn’t want to pay $600+ for a piece made of hard wood. For what it is, I think it’s a good looking little piece of furniture that will last a few years. It was easy to put together. Feels sturdy enough to sit on to put shoes on and off. Overall 10/10 for price, functionality and design.
