This bench comes put together (fabulous) and the quality matches or exceeds the price. IT's sturdy and I'd say exactly as pictured. The only thing I'd say is that the bench is slightly smaller than I expected it to be, though if you read the dimensions I suppose this wouldn't be an issue. It's short, so it's the type of entryway bench that needs something over it (like a coat rack or painting). Otherwise, it looks a bit odd all short on the floor. 

I'd also note that this bench is not big enough so several people to sit on at once (or really anyone for that matter as it's not very deep). However, when I sit on it it seems sturdy - though it might not be good if you're heavier and looking for a bench to sit on while you put on your shoes or something. 

All in all, worth the money if you think it works for your space. 

Pros: reasonably priced, comes as pictured and put together
Cons: a bit small; wouldn't be good for a full sized entry way bench (better for smaller apartment)
