This bench is gorgeous. The velvet is high quality, the storage is really roomy. The only complaint I have about it is even when you assemble it the legs are a little wobbly. I haven't had any issues with it supporting people's weight or anything like that but its not of the highest quality. That being said, the price is 100% right. A sterdier bench that looks this beautiful with storage would cost 5x the price from a fancier store or manufacturer - and I've had 3 people sit on this bench with zero issues. I just love it - I can't believe how beautiful it is out of the box and it's added a TON of character in my very neutral coloured bedroom.
