I really thought I was going to love this piece.  My husband and I took the time to redo our bedroom adding a walk-in closet and all new furniture.  We placed this bench against one of our walls to be able to sit if needed and it looked great.  Needless to say the bench is rarely used.  We have had this bench for roughly 4 months and one of the seams is already splitting on the seat and now I am afraid to use the bench at all.  Unfortunately I am past the return window.  If I had known the quality of this piece was so poor, I would not have ordered it.
