After several disappointing orders from Wayfair, with items that were damaged beyond repair, I was SO happy to receive this bench in perfect condition. It was the correct color, wrapped very gently and neatly, wasn't too heavy and the best part...no assembly required! I have it placed in my living room and it fits perfectly in the spot I planned for it, with the measurements exactly right. You can definitely sit two people on this or use it as a foot rest/ottoman of sorts. Very happy with this purchase and would buy again!
