We just got this and built it within 2 days. It is beautiful!!!! I absolutely love it, and it looks exactly like it does in the pictures. The cushion it comes with is perfect and such a great colour. The wood is real and heavy. The unit is very solid once built and looks very expensive. I mean, it was, but it looks like it should be worth more than was paid. I would recommend this piece to anyone looking for a beautiful hall tree. It makes our entrance way look so much more inviting and cozy!
