I don't want to give this 3 stars, it's not quite accurate, but neither is 4. The color is nice, it's real wood, it has weight to it, and it matches the chairs and table I just bought. 

UPDATE DECEMBER

Things that I learned after the holidays...Don't buy this if you're using it with a dining table - it's cheaply made and uncomfortable. It certainly isn't worth $150 - maybe $50. It's also past the 30-day window and I'm stuck with this overpriced cheaply-made bench. I'm so disappointed. 
I'm disappointed with the cushion. It's so flat and firm, not very comfortable; a little more memory foam would have gone a long way. 

Thanksgiving dinner will be the true test. I'm keeping my fingers crossed.
