This bench/daybed is extremely well made ... sturdy, comes in one piece.  It is definitely worth the price.  We purchased it in "tan" -- which is kind of a cross between a "wheat" color and natural.  Very neutral; fabric is thick -- we think it will stand up well to use.  The height is low enough, that it fits just under a large window.  We put big thrown pillows at either end, and it has become a favorite place for guests to lay back and read a book or magazine.
