I love this bench!  The color is true to the photo on the website.  And it seems to be sturdy construction, which is necessary because my husband has a "sturdy" build.  I read lots of product reviews before deciding to order this piece. I always start from the one star and work my way up to the five's.  I noticed a lot of complaints about the assembly of the legs...the screws breakinig while inserting and the holes not matching up with the screws, etc. But Wayfair either replaced the bench altogether or mailed another set of screws.  I had no problems. The instructions are very easy to follow.  *** Hint*** If the  leg doesn't seem to fit the hole, try it on the same side in the opposite hole. They are marked "L " and "R" (left, right)
