Love the bench, it was easy to put together, it’s sturdy, and the finish is a slate black that was well depicted in the indoor photos.  The one thing I didn’t realize is that the seat of the bench is slatted, and not solid, which was not visible in any of the photos or stated in the description anywhere.  It needs a cushion which will be easy, but another step to accomplish.  
All in all, I love the bench, and would definitely recommend.
