Beautiful piece of furniture.  Sturdy.  I did have an issue with it being a little short on one side which caused it to wobble.  A small pad under one of the legs and all is fixed. Not enough to lower it any stars.  I actually bought this for inside the house, as opposed for outside.  Thought it might work for our entryway, but the color didn't quite fit, so we tried it in our bathroom for a place to sit and give it a little bit of a spa style.  I think it works.
