This is gorgeous! I wanted an elegant bench suitable for high use and this is it! The detailed carving on the legs and below the seat is just beautiful. This is a charming French country piece that would look lovely in a master bath, at the foot of the bed, or even at a fancy dining table for extra seating. I plan to use mine in the entry for guests so they can sit comfortably and remove their shoes.  This wonderful piece is versatile and although it may look dainty, it is very sturdy and comfortable. It was a breeze to put together, I just needed to add the legs, and it went together quickly.  Even the wood smells fabulous, it truly looked like it was handmade for my order. You can't go wrong with this and you will not be disappointed. I love mine so much!
