This bench is a perfect blend of dark sophisticated wood and a rustic, textured seat. It is pretty lightweight and easy to move around, but looks very upscale if placed in a focal location. However, it's not a comfortable chair, so I'd recommend it only for places where you seldom sit on it. I put mine in the mudroom, similar to other reviewers. 

Buy it if you're looking for a unique piece to fill a spot in your house that looks too empty. It's gorgeous in real life!
