This is a quite petit bench, high and long enough to sit on, and quite sturdy.  I wanted a piece of furniture for outside under my carport during the summer, and now that it is winter, I have it in my hallway under my coats.  It is good in both places.  I am quite happy with it.  It is discreet under my coats, small enough to tuck next to the wall and not have a problem with it.  When it is outside, it fulfills it's purpose.
