This bench is not only the perfect style, color and size for my space, but it is beautifully made and well designed - It is solid wood (acacia & mango wood) and the fibers of the cushion are all natural, not treated in any way with chemical retardants. It was packaged with much care, completely surrounded by foam and cardboard inside so that no edges would be damaged in transit. The drawers slide well, and have a built in wooden stop at the back to keep them from coming out of the bench unintentionally. You can feel good about bringing this piece into your home!
