This is a nice looking bench with a rustic/farmhouse feel.  It arrived very well packaged with no dents or scratches and the fabric is wrapped to keep it clean in transit.  When you lift the top, it stays in the up position until you pull it down which is a great feature for kids.  I wiped mine out prior to using and there were a few metal slivers that i found, so I would recommend doing so as well.  Its a really good, well made piece.
