I've been looking for a boudoir bench for a long time.  I saw and bought one at my local home store, costing me about $200.00.  When I sat upon it, the legs crashed out from under it., damaging the flip-up mechanism.  Then I spied almost the exact model browsing.  The color, the quilting, the quality and the cost was superior.  It matches perfectly with my headboard and my leisure chair.  It is very sturdy, 400 lbs to be exact.  I am always surprised and delighted when I go! ShirleyWest Hills, CA
