We really like the bench. Good quality and easy to put together however ours has one flaw on top. It could only be seen after staining it a darker color and is now noticeable. It looks like someone put a paint can or something on the top (the stain will not take must be an oil or something)- but we are just going to cover that part up with a decorative pillow. Other than that- nice lovely bench we put in our entryway.
