I received this item within less than a week.  My husband put it together...and that took a bit of time due to screws and assembly parts weren't the best.  However once it was completed, I must say that I really love the way it looks.  It looks like a solid and expensive piece of furniture.  It's sturdy and looks so nice. My only compliant is on various parts of this bench there are areas that actually have red paint marks.  My husband thought it was part of the design, but it looks like a mistake like something rubbed up against it & I also don't see that as a part of the description or in the presentation photo. With all this to say, I am using this bench for the foyer area in my home. I even dressed it up with an accent pillow. This really was yet another great buy from Wayfair!
