The bench is beautiful and the quality is good, with 2 exceptions. The back is a flimsy piece and the cushion is as hard as a rock, there is no give or feeling of sitting on a cushion when sitting on it. The “cushion” appears to be covered in an outdoor fabric that will not stain easily and can be wiped or scrubbed with a cloth (as it’s not removable). That’s handy if the bench is in a guest bedroom considering guests may put their luggage on it. The back piece, while thin and flexible, might not have been so bad if the back of the bench had the 8 holes that were supposed to be there to screw it into place. I’m on a search for a cushion that is comfortable to sit on, and will likely glue the back piece on. It’s a shame about the cushion, inferior back piece, and lack of holes to attach the back piece. Otherwise, it’s a nice piece of furniture.
