This bench is very cute and sturdy, and can easily hold both myself and my husband at the same time without any fear of the bench breaking. The velvet fabric feels luxurious and it looks great in my front room. My only issue with it is that the holes in the legs didn't quite line up with the holes in the body of the bench, so I had to use an electric drill with a screwdriver attachment to put two of the legs on the bench.  I'm still really happy with my purchase; this was my only frustration with the product.
