I really like this piece - especially for the price.  It arrived ahead of schedule and was very easy to put together.  My only complaint is that the bottom where the legs were stored came ripped.  The box had a tear in it so I am assuming that was the problem.  I decided not to return it as you can't see the rip and it doesn't affect the durability of the bench.  I am using this in a small spare bedroom I have turned into a walk in closet and it works great!  My daughter (the interior designer) liked it as well.  Very happy with this purchase!
