Got the bench and it was perfect as described. Have assembled using wood glue in addition to the included hardware, and it made a very sturdy bench. Its plain design will go with any eclectic mix of furniture. Just what I ordered. I plan to sand and stain it to match my bedroom furniture and use it as a bench at the foot of my bed. Will make a cushion to tie to each of the legs that coordinates with my bedspread. I think it will be lovely for a very minimal price!
