My bench arrived dented. I don't see how it could arrive un-dented with the way it is minimally packaged. The bench is cute, however the cushion is covered in a flax colored linen not the off white I expected. The cushion is also covered in a plastic that I thought should be removed, but after discovering how difficult it was to remove I've decided was intended to be left intact. I'm not much for the plastic covered upholstered look, so it had to go regardless.  So, it's ok if you're expecting a budget piece.
