I got this bench with the thoughts of painting it white and using it in my dining room, however because it is made of "eucalyptus gradis hardwood" (which has an order upon opening box, but it soon disappears), I changed my mind because I didn't think the white paint would go on smoothly.  At any rate, I put it outside on the front porch, and it really looks nice.  The bench is packaged very well and the instructions are very clear, and it IS VERY EASY TO ASSEMBLE!  I would absolutely recommend, the price is right, FREE SHIPPING (thank goodness because it is heavy) and very sturdy.

Pros: Great price, sturdy/easy to assemble
Cons: I would like to have had more color options, like white.
