Surprisingly large! Be sure to measure your space before ordering. I thought it was going to look small in my dining room but it fills the space nicely. Feels pretty sturdy; came home one evening to find my roommate and her friends on it, three to a bench. It can sometimes get a little uncomfortable if you’re sitting for long periods of time, but it’s a wooden bench so no surprises there. The corners can also be a bit ‘sharp’ if you catch one in the patella, but overall I’m really happy with it, especially at its price point!
