I bought this bench in blue in May 2020. A quarter-sized piece of paint fell off the top a few months ago, despite the fact that the only material ever to touch the bench's surface is my sweatpants. I live alone, am 65 years old, and use it only to put on my shoes before going for walks twice a day. Due to COVID-19, I have had no visitors since receiving this item. It's really unacceptable to have paint unable to withstand the minimal wear this bench has received.
