Solid feeling construction, easy to assemble (instructions suggested two people, but I was able to do it solo). I put extra pads on the bottom to protect my wood floors. I've had some issues with reclaimed wood items on other websites, but I was please at the quality here. First thing I did once it was set up was sit on it and slide from side to side. No snags (yay). I even laid down on it for a bit, obviously it's not soft, but it is sturdy. The wood gleams beautifully in the light and it seems to have been sanded down and stained with care. I think it might be able to fit 3 people at need, but probably not more.
