Believe it or not, I purchased this bench to put under a window for my kitties to lay on to look out.  Prior to that they had a round foot stool to sit on and it was hard to share.  Although, I did see all 3 cats on there occasionally.  This is a nice firm bench.  It was easy to assemble.  The color wasn't quite like the one pictured...it was a little darker, but it's still a nice warm color.  Look at the backside of the arm facing you in the picture and that is a true color shown.  I would highly recommend this bench to anyone wishing to purchase it.

Pros: Nice fabric, firm foam used and I love the face I can store stuff in the bench itself.  Very roomy.
Cons: It was a little pricey.  The ad came out for Target this week and they had one there for $112, this one was $179.  Very similar on size.  I don't know about the firmness, etc as I would have to go to Target to ck it out and I haven't done that.
