It does the job. It's the right size for the space I wanted it in, the cushion is nice, it's comfortable to sit on. It's perhaps not quite as sturdy as I had expected (and I am not a large individual) but I don't think it'll fall apart any time soon. My main complaint is the finish on the wood: it's a bit rough, the varnish is chipped in some place, and the color doesn't quite match the photo. Because of this it doesn't look worth the price.
