cushion is extremely stiff and not very comfortable to sit in for a long time, and it was damaged upon delivery; but I am keeping it because the damaged (cracked) portion is not high stress area, and you can't see it from the outside.  on the plus side, this product looks amazing, it's just the right size for a small size room as a bed bench, and it was very simple and quick to put together.  would've absolutely loved it if it wasn't cracked and if it was more comfortable.
