Beautiful bench, easy to assemble. It’s sturdy and can work as a bed bench or an entry bench. It could work as a dining room bench but it’s pretty short, so just make sure it would be long enough at your table. The only thing I didn’t particularly like is how they attach the bar to the bottom of the top piece before it’s assembled, because you have to use pliers to get the staples and cord out of the board underneath that are left behind. It comes off, but it was hard to avoid slight scratches underneath the top board. However, they’re not visible. It was just annoying to get slight scratches underneath a brand new bench! That’s just a small thing, but honestly I’d 100 get this bench again. So lovely! (For reference, this is a queen size bed).
