This entryway bench looks nice and fits well with French provincial and farmhouse decor/furniture. The base and legs are a much lighter shade of beige than I expected but it works for now and can be painted a darker stain if need be. Our families have appreciated this bench as it allows them to don/doff their shoes when they come over to visit without having to stand on one leg to do so. Something so simple makes a big difference for sure. This can also be used in the living room for added seating when we have guests. I'm thinking of getting another one for our bedroom to set all our throw pillows on as needed.
