It is a bit cheaper looking than what I expected (the material). It just slams shut, it doesn’t have one of the those dampening or soft closing systems, but just pieces of material that prevent it from opening back too wide. It’s not ideal for having little ones at home because it can easily slam on their fingers. It is also not very padded. We are using it as a front hall bench to sit on to put shoes on etc., and it’s not as comfortable as the one that was there before which it is replacing.￼ The￼ Hinges are also on the outside, so they are visible from the back. The legs that I received were dented and scratched. It’s not too visible so not worth my trouble to return it. My feeling on this one is “it will do”, which is probably not how you want to feel about a new item of furniture. I would not have bought it if I had seen it and tested it in a store first.￼
