Love this entry bench. The package was not the best as the screws were loose and everywhere inside the box. Was so easy to put together and is sturdy and looks fantastic. It’s not something adults will want to sit on for a long time as the seat is short so it hits your legs in a weird spot but for putting on or taking off your shoes it’s perfect! Hubby weights 250 and he said it was sturdy when he sat on it. Highly recommend. The top is not one piece of wood and boring, it’s slats of wood so it’s very attractive and different. The description says rustic and it is but on the more refined side so we love it!
