I have ambivalent feelings towards this bench. 

On the one hand it’s a pretty shape, the colour is gorgeous, it’s a nice size, and it’s got plenty of storage space inside for blankets and throws.

On the other, it really isn’t very sturdy - I put it together making sure everything was tightened properly and I’m well below the weight limit, but when I sat on it the legs wobbled and it swayed. Also, the seat cushion might look inviting but alas - it is wickedly hard, and unless it will soften over time it does not make for a comfortable window seat.

Overall, I think it deserves 3 stars - for an aesthetic piece with occasion use as seating it works nicely, but if you’re intending it for regular use it needs a bit of an overhaul before I’d give it more stars
