The bench is as pictured. The seat is hard but it is fine as our bathroom bench. It is priced $100 cheaper here on Wayfair,  than at a higher end retail store here in Ontario. 

Unfortunately, as soon as we got it, one of us got ink all over it! The bench legs are still wrapped in tissue. We have tried everything to get the ink off. Hoping someone in customer service can offer advice on how to remove faded blue ink of this pristine white material. Please help!!
