The Oswestry Bench is basically as advertised.   The gray oak color is a little darker than anticipated, but I may eventually whitewash it so it will look better in the room.  Assembly consisted of 8 bolts, 4 on each side.  Four of the bolts were easy to screw in and the other four took a little more time.  It took less than 10 minutes to put this together.  I would definitely recommend this bench if the size and style matches what you’re looking for.
