It is a beautiful bench...were going to end up having to paint it though (which is a pain) because it is much more red then the stain in the picture! Bought it to match our walnut stained table (and it looks like it would in picture) but the stain of the bench is actually more of a red mahogany- which really clashes. Bench itself is beautiful though with nice storage and mostly solid wood. Just got it assembled which was more difficult then expected as the instructions tell you how to assemble it only the one “L” shape way which was all opposite. Our table is a 6’ table though and there’s a short space on long side (wish the bench was a little longer but we have a shelf there that worked good) but would be great with 5’ table.
