This is a beautiful settee but very uncomfortable. The seat is hard as a rock…literally. Also, because of remodeling going on at our house, we did not open and assemble immediately. There was a piece missing when we did assemble it but we were told by customer service there was nothing they could do because it was outside the 30 day window. It was 10 days past that window and all we needed was a small plug that goes on the side of the back of the bench. Lesson learned.
