The bench arrived relatively quickly. Packaged well. The only thing I'm disappointed with is the color. I love the color of the top of the bench (gray). However, the legs are also gray, which makes the bench look very monochromatic. In the picture, the legs look a darker brown/gray. So, it was rather deceiving. I'm not sure I would have purchased the bench knowing that. It is very sturdy however, and interesting to look at.
