It is a very nice looking bench, and feels sturdy. I chose the green apple and it does look just as pictured. My major downgrade is for the fabric- it snags very easily. This is maybe not the best choice of material for pet owners. My bench has large fabric pulls daily (due to a cat and one dog), I feel like it will probably need to be replaced relatively quickly. If someone has a pet free home, this bench would be a lovely addition and would probably hold up much better.
