For me, this is exactly what I needed for my foyer. A really sturdy bench to sit on to remove shoes. The description says black but its really more charcoal color which matches my coffee & side tables to a tee! This is a substantial bench & will accommodate 2 adults easily. Mine is 15x 48. I put it together in 20 minutes by my self!  I'm adding a cushion for it just to add a little extra comfort. Another happy purchase. Thanks Wayfair!
