The style of the piece is nice, but the craftmanship is somewhat rough around the carved areas. When unpacked the cushion had depressions on each corner from the packing material that have not come out. I decided to recover the cushion to match my decor, so I don's see the depressions, but can feel them under the fabric. THe size and style of this bench make it desireable but the quality of the piece is somewhat lacking.
