This bench was prefect for us in terms of dimensions, and I really love that it has a small back (we're using it at our kitchen table and it's safer for the kiddos). But the quality isn't great. There are odd black marks all over the wood, and the rattan is very pokey, almost sharp. The fabric is light and stains easily, but I expected that. I imagine I'll try to re cover it in a few years when the kids are older, and if that doesn't work, at least I'll get a couple years out of it. I guess as expected for the cost.
