I was looking for something to place towels on in my master bath and thought I would try this bench.  I rarely am satisfied and have high standards so I was worried that I would not like it.  I was happily surprised!  It is beautiful, well-made, sturdy, and arrived quickly.  It was well packaged to prevent damage.  The color is rich-looking and it is looks nice in my bathroom; it provides a spa-like quality.  Do not hesitate if you are considering it.
