I researched a lot before choosing this bench for appearance, size & weight capacity. Great bench, sturdy, comfortable to lie on if you like a bit of firmness. I ordered the azure blue, it’s more of a deep teal than blue which I’m happy about because the actual teal color I favored  was vetoed. A lovely color & the fabric quality appears good. Height is just below the window in the library so it should be comfy if I ever have time for a leisurely read. Cats, dog, & husband all approve, (guess who’s the fussiest ;).
