Love this little bench!  I've been looking for something to place under my living room window AND for extra seating when we entertain.  This piece solved both problems.  It's the perfect size, and it brightens the room.  Since we don't have an entryway per se, it's a great place to sit next to the front door for taking off boots.  And it's light weight so can be pulled up to the coffee table when guests are here to add to seating for conversations.  I'd buy this piece again in a heartbeat.  It arrived assembled and securely packaged (double * in my opinion).
