For the price the bench was what I expected.  Could be more comfortable if the bench back was designed to lean slightly back instead of straight up and down to the point of almost leaning forward.  The bench arrived by promised date but it took two deliveries from the manufacturer due 1st the stretchers not being drilled properly and 2nd wrong screws for the arms.  Although the customer service was very helpful the bench could not be put together as quickly as the bench was needed.  Will use the bench in our foyer and for extra seating when needed.
