I liked the size.  Have purchased one other bench but the size didn’t work.  Luckily this one did. Plus the style and color was perfect for me.  I put it on the wall under my stairs and it looks beautiful.  I’d give it a 8 out of a 10 when it came to assembly.  I usually have my husband put things together for me, however I did it myself.  I must admit it wasn’t bad at all.  All the parts were there also!  Overall I’m very satisfied!
