Great starter or decoration bench. Probably won’t hold up with regular use. My family of 4 (myself, normal sized husband, toddler & baby) all sit on this at the same time, and you can feel some “give” in the wood. I weigh 120 lbs and I feel some flex in the seat when I sit down. The screws in the wood (that were already there) are not very long, and part of our bench (the seat) had unattached after a few weeks. I called Wayfair and they were able to resolve my issue. I am not sure if I got a bad bench 🤷‍♀️ ?  I got the dark slate color: it has a blue cast to it, and chalky highlights up close, giving it a weathered/farmhouse look. We keep our bench on a covered porch where rain can’t get to it. If you are looking for some quick casual seating or decoration, this is great.
