This is a surprisingly attractive and well-made piece of furniture for the price. The wood is beautifully finished, smooth as silk and a lovely color. It is sturdy and very easy to assemble. The style is a close match to the Kiefer Deluxe cedar potting bench I also bought from Wayfair and, when placed next to each other, works perfectly as a storage unit for gardening items. I am very pleased with this purchase.
