I bought this bench for use in my entryway, but it is so nice-looking that I may move it to another room!  It was very easy to put together, for a non-do-it-yourselfer.  The wood has a great appearance and the pieces fit together perfectly.  It has a nice clean look.  Wood is well sanded and smooth, no rough edges.  I'm very happy with this purchase; I may look for more items by this company.
