This bench was purchased to match the table (which I wrote a separate review for-Please read the lemay table review) as it has some additional information that may benefit you if you’re looking into this set. The wood is beautifully crafted and the live edge makes it stand out in any room! You know you’re guaranteed to get a one of a kind piece since they’re cut differently in their own way. Im in love. Its sturdy so you know it will last beyond its years.
