The reason I can't give this bench 5 stars if partly my bad... I did not read the description very carefully and was expecting a BLUE bench, as shown in the photos. It is actually BLACK with gold print.  To be fair, the description says black. It is a nice bench and it will work for our needs, but it is not what I was expecting. If I had seen it in person before ordering it I probably would not have purchased it.... I'm already thinking of new fabrics to recover it in....
