I use this bench in so many ways, I love it, it's sturdy, comfy and nice quality.  Very useful near the front door for my older guests to sit one while putting their boots on.  It's a little high as a footrest, perhaps my couch is a too low for it.  It looks good as a coffee table with a nice tray to serve snack and drinks and I often use as extra seating in the living room or at the dining table when we playing hosts to a full house. Not very big, it fits well in many rooms and useful in many settings.  I got in in the light cream/natural wood color. I'm thinking of getting a second one it's so versatile.
