We purchased this bench for our front porch.  Due to weather, we kept it inside, in the entry way, until we were ready to place it outside.  It looked so nice inside that I missed it when we put it out on the porch.  However, it looks great on the porch too.  The bench looks just as in the picture, it has a slightly curved seat which is very comfortable.  My husband had it put together in about 15 minutes.  It did have a couple of small dings which we will be able to sand out, so we aren't worried about them.  Anyway, we love the bench, thank's Wayfair!
