I was sad to give up a beautiful vintage leather bench when we moved recently. It was just too big for our new foyer and there was not another spot in the new house. While this does not have the same visual impact, it fits the bill of an elegant and simple entryway bench for us. It was super easy to assemble and we had it out within fifteen minutes of opening the box. It did come with a very tiny puncture in the faux leather, but I was able to dab a tiny dot of acrylic paint I matched to the color and you cannot see or feel it at all.
