This bench is perfect for our small entry space and is a breeze to put together.  It's the perfect mix of rustic and modern farmhouse, and is super sturdy! My husband (who could care less about home decor) even commented on how "cool" this bench looks and how solidly it's built.  After hours of shopping online for the perfect entryway piece, we are 100% satisfied with the look and durability of this bench.  Shipping was timely, and we had no issues with delivery or defects. Two thumbs up!
