I'm so glad I placed an alert for the restocking of this bench and doubly happy that I acted as soon as I got the email.  This bench is everything I'd hoped for.  It perfectly compliments the coastal decor and it's slim profile doesn't overwhelm my small living room.  It's just what I needed to balance out the furniture and provide an attractive place to put on and take off shoes.  I don't think its the most comfortable for long time sitting because you start to really feel the wood surround under your legs but, for my purposes, a winner!   

Pros: Looks, profile
