This is a sturdy, well made bench with beautifully finished wood and luxurious woven leather.  It looks much better in person and looks more expensive than the actual cost.  I am very, very happy with this purchase and you will be too.  As far as the chemical smell mentioned in other reviews, its really not as bad as they make it sound.  The smell goes away very quickly.  An added bonus was that Wayfair delivered my bench in perfect condition and it was delivered much sooner than expected.  Very nice surprise.  Do yourself a favor and purchase the matching round mirror.  It is a perfect compliment to the bench.
