This flip top bench is great for the price paid. The fabric color & quality seems very good. It was shipped promptly. Well packaged. Good size, easy to install the legs. Not too heavy but not too flimsy either. Feels like a solid piece. I generally use it to put my feet on it & it works quiet well for that purpose. I think it will be a piece of useful furniture that will be around for a long time. Let's not forget the fact that it also has plenty of storage space in it & the hinged flip top is also much better than those tops w/o the hinges. I definitely recommend it.
