The design and look of the piece is beautiful and exactly what I was looking for. I also loved the dual feature of being able to take the cushion off and use it as a floor seat and the bench as a mini work table for kids. Unfortunately looks as about as much as it’s good for. The bench would support children, 
but I fear anytime an adult goes to sit on it that the legs will give out. When sitting down it sinks and creaks as the legs all slide outward - it isn’t stable.
