This bench looks nice with my decor and definitely has that farmhouse/rustic look to it.  The ends of the wood at the top are sawed off/unfinished, that is pretty easy to fix.  The top was slightly uneven, but for the price, we can live with that.  It works well in my entry area.  It's a little high to use as a bench where you sit to put your shoes on, you end up lifting your foot up rather than leaning over.
