I am OBSESSED with this bench. I was trying to find the perfect sized bench for my little hall closet turned entry nook and anything that would fit looked cheesy. This bench looks so good in my mid century house, is totally solid whether all the way in or all the way extended, and created the look that I had envisioned! I feel like I should buy 3 more for clients before people figure out how great it is and the price goes up!
