I love this bench. It is attractive and very sturdy (and heavy!)
I am subtracting a star because the packaging was flimsy and was resting against my door and the box was in pieces (fortunately none of the pieces were missing). And the only issue I had was one screw hole was not completely drilled and this is HARD wood and not easy to get that one in.
That said it is just as pictured and a solid piece of furniture. I love the wood.
