I just purchased a home built in 1910. It really needed an entryway bench not only at the back for the mudroom, but also at the entryway in the front.    I ordered this bench, put together myself, and was very impressed with everything from parts, to directions, to quality!!!!!  I loved it so much I am purchasing another one today. I needed a place for guests to sit down and remove their shoes before entering my home and this is perfect in every way. Highly recommend
