I bought this bench to be used as a banquette in my kitchen.  It was delivered promptly and placed in an accessible location in my driveway.  It is certainly beautiful - plenty big enough for 3 people and very plush.  The price was great for the quality. I was also able to assemble it all by myself - and I'm a 69 years old woman!   I did not give it 5 stars because of one problem.  Two of the screws that attach the seat to the back of the bench would not go in very far.  I don't think they drilled a deep enough hole.  Since I don't even own a drill, I screwed them in as far as I could and now I'm holding my breath.  There are a total of 6 screws in that area, so I'm hoping that it will hold.  I may have to find someone who can remedy that problem.  Overall, a very good buy.
