This bench is gorgeous!!!  The colors are easy to blend with brown and gray tones - I have both so this was a perfect find.  I wasn't sure about the studs, but they are definitely a nice touch to pull the look together.  It took me about 10 minutes to attach the legs which was VERY easy.  It was packaged well with no issues.  It actually took me longer to get it out of the box than put it together.  The bench does have a little bit of a distressed look as shown in the site pictures (intentional scratches and tiny holes in the "wood" parts) so just know those are supposed to be there.  The upholstery is soft and comfortable to sit on.  It's so beautiful I can't wait to try out the matching dining chairs.
