I bought this bench, because it was the look I was going for and the price was great.  Loved that it came so quickly, and it was fairly easy for me to put together by myself.  Although, I would recommend two people, but I was impatient :)  It looks great in my entryway and is very sturdy.  I like the extra storage it provides under the seat.  Very happy with this purchase.

Pros: sturdy, great price, looks great
