Good quality. Faux leather is very soft and a true black.  Frame is sturdy. Was easy to assemble.    The only challenge was that all the screw holes for attaching the padded top to the metal bench frame do not line up, so we were only able to get 5 of the 6 screws in.  The top isn't going to come off or anything,  it's still very safe and solid, but it lost a star for the lack of precision.  Otherwise the bench is as expected and a good price.
