I was looking for a chair to practice my guitar on, but all comfortable chairs with arms hampered my playing.  It occurred to me to buy a bench.  This is the perfect height (I no longer need a foot stool, which I was using while practicing with a dining room chair.  The seat is firm but comfortable; I was surprised the fabric was patterned, but it is not bad. 

I am happy with this purchase  

Pros: Took 10 minutes for me to put together
Cons: I'm worried that one leg is not screwed in all the way but it seems locked into position and very sturdy.
