These may be my favorite purchase from Wayfair to date. I got two, one for either side of my fireplace and they fit perfectly. Don’t mind my floors, we’re remodeling and these benches are the perfect addition to our new decor. They’re really sturdy. Took me around an hour to put together by myself. There was no odd or strong smell as mentioned in other reviews. I think those probably had to do with where they were stored before shipment. 100% would buy again.
