This bench is so beautiful... and even better, it is functional by providing an extra seating option along with storage. I am in love!
The bench height is very comfortable and the top is a sturdy pad covered in a soft polyster velvet fabric. The top flips up to reveal a substantial amount of storage, which I was both surprised and impressed with. 
The legs were easy to screw in and the bench feels very stable and secure, though may tip if someone sits too far to the end and throws off the balance. 
This bench is so nice and I am very, very happy with the style and quality for the price.
