We loved the look of this in our coastal home. To our surprise the seat has cushion (grey color) and is very comfy! It is not the best quality of wood and can splinter off easy. It comes with bottom plastic protectors so it should not ( hasnt for us) scratch up floors . We had a few pieces that were damaged in our order. We contacted the company and they sent a few replacement pieces (waiting on 2) . It was fairly easy to assemble. It is perfect for a Shabby Elegance or coastal home ! Looks great against our light green and grey living room/kitchen walls. Even though it has some disadvantages overall for the price comfort and look I would suggest this !
