I bought this farmhouse bench last summer to replace a broken chair for our old 3x5 kitchen table. It has been exactly what I needed. It fits underneath the table and allows two children (or even adults) to sit on one side so our table continues to work for our family of 5. I had to refinish the whole set to match the bench b/c I had difficulty replicating the original finish of the table on the bench but it gave me an excuse to refresh the whole thing and I love it even better. My only concern was that initially I didn't get the legs screwed in tightly enough (though I thought I did) and one came loose after a couple of months. My husband fixed it and it's been absolutely fine since!
