We bought this whole collection (dresser, chest, nightstands, and bench), and we could not be happier with our choice. The quality is spot-on for the price point, and so we believe we got a good value. If the drawers were soft close, this would be a perfect set. We are very pleased with the height, size, and appearance of this bench. We love the wood color and the neutral bone color of the cushion. The only thing we would change would be to have the top open (rather than drawers). The drawers are an okay size, but they don't open the last 3-4 inches (see photo), so some of the function is lost. Also, because it's two separate drawers (rather than one large opening from the top), we cannot even store an extra bed blanket in there. That makes it useless for storage (for us), but it still has plenty of function at the end of our bed, and adds a classic mid-century element to the decor. (Didn't everyone have a bench back in the day?)
