The bench looks beautiful in our shower and almost true to how it's pictured on the internet.  Surprisingly, it is almost the exact match with the hardwood in the house!  The only thing that dismayed me about this bench is that it didn't fit together as well as it should have so I would never sit on it.  I bought this bench to place shower items on it, sitting on it was never my intent, so I give it a higher rating for the aesthetic.  I love it!
