I absolutely LOVE this bench!!! It's the perfect height, length and depth for where I wanted to put it. I needed a bench that was 14" or less in depth so as not to obstruct a wide hallway, and that's difficult to find. I looked at countless benches and read countless reviews.  This is excellent quality, was packaged well and very easy to put together. You only have to attach the legs and a tool is provided. This is very sturdy and easily holds weight. Leather is smooth and blemish free and wood is shiny and solid. Shipping was fast.  Excellent purchase!!!
