Let me explain.. I wish wish wish wish this bench were simply just a different color. But the brown is not brown my friends. It is like.. a gold yellow kind of baby diarrhea color. I rated two stars because it was such lovely construction. The thing is solid, it’s dramatic arms are lovely, it’s got the storage.. but I had to fight Wayfair to avoid a massive shipping fee getting this thing back to them. I even put it together, trying my best to love it, but knew I would be settling mostly due to exasperation if I kept it.
