I was thrilled to find a bench that was so long and still in my price range. I had a wide empty wall in my new kitchen and anything smaller would have left an awkward amount of open space on either side of it. It did arrive with a broken piece which was a bummer but Wayfair was awesome and had a replacement part sent out so I didnt need to return anything. I went with white which I started to regret as I remembered while putting it together that I have 2 kids and 2 dogs and I dont even allow myself to buy white shirts because I cant keep them clean for half a day... but it seems to be pretty durable and looks amazing in my kitchen.  My 3 year old LOVES that she has a separate cubby for her coathatshoesglovesetc...lol. I put together a simple coat rack that was just as wide as the bench and it looks perfect above it.
