The bench is very sturdy, we are placing it in our new exercise room for manuals, exercise bands, ankle weights, small items.  It does look good but a little smaller than expected, we will make it work for us.  the quality is outstanding, smooth finish, and so far we have had positive comments about it.  I would have given it a 5 star because it looked bigger on wayfairs pictures and so I gave it a 4 star, that is the only reason, wayfair makes everything look great, it does do the job for us.  Thank you WayFair.
