This is a decent bench at the price point.  I was looking for a design with clean lines and storage capacity.  It is sturdy and has generous storage compartment.  Had hoped the gold legs were less bright and shiny. One star lost for the fact there is no guide lines or pre-drilled holes to attach the legs!  And, they are merely screwed into pressed wood board, so hoping it does not loosen terribly over time. Since the bench will not have heavy usage for me, am not as concerned. If you plan to use it for seating often, I would look for something more suited for wearuse.
