This bench looks nice and is a good height and size and is soft for sitting.  The problem?  The sides of it are metal and they are the exact height of a persons knee.  I have been in agony on my bed several times after smashing my knee on this thing.  This is the most painful piece of furniture I've ever owned.  It's just brutal.  I have removed it from my bedroom and plan to get rid of it.  All the other bedroom benches I've seen are soft on all sides and now I know why - you can bump them with no worries.  But this design -  it rides the line between evil and stupid.
