Great bench, I got the light one. Easy to put together, all the pieces were there, and this is real wood, it doesn't feel cheap at all, it feels nice and sturdy. I'm using it at the end of my bed just to have something to set things on when I need to, I had one at an Air BNB and realized how handy it was. It would also be great to use by the front door, feels sturdy enough for light to mid use by adults and kids.
