The bench is very easy to put together and came well packed.  It instantly adds an ethnic, exotic feel, think Polynesian beach resort.  It will fit only two persons at a time, so the bench is small, check the dimensions before purchasing.  The seats themselves are the braided leather meshes, so it's definitely more for casual, quick seating.  Perfect for an entryway or at the foot of a bed.  I have mine at the base of my window and it aesthetically compliments the lush outdoors of my backyard.
