I bought this to go with the Table, also by this manufacturer I knew the finish wouldn't match, but this bench is MUCH darker than it appears in the photos. I'm trying to paint and distress it to match the table, but it's pretty challenging. I may just have to go with painting it opaque white. If you don't need a particular, finish, then I think it's a lovely bench. It's extremely solid and surprisingly comfortable since there's no back rest or cushion.
