This bench is beautiful.  My picky husband is impressed with it.  Very sturdy.  It has decorative carvings on the legs.  The wood tone matches the natural cherry woodwork in my home.  Easy to put together.  Very well packaged to prevent damage during shipping.  I was impressed with the Packaging and care to ensure that customers receive undamaged merchandise.  The material is a thick tapestry with golds, rustic red, sbd black colors.   Beautiful and unique bench worth every dollar I paid for it.
