I needed a seat near the entrance door on a temporary basis and then be able to use it later at a makeup vanity.  This suits the purpose just fine.  The legs are darker than depicted in the photo and I will give them a wash to lighten them.  For those wanting to re-upholster this bench, the construction makes it such that the entire bench would have to be disassembled.  Fortunately I wanted the grey.  It is a sturdy bench with thick padding, so overall I am happy with this and on sale it was less than half the price of the other Wayfair one I was considering.
