This bench exceeded my expectations!  I was looking for a bench to place inside our back door; one where we could sit down and put on/remove our shoes.  It is the perfect combination of Mid Century Modern style and functionality; very well constructed, strong and the faux leather is gorgeous!  Assembly was a breeze; the sturdy legs, hardware/tool and instructions were all located in a zippered compartment on the underside of the bench (great space for placing whatever small items you want to use it for).  Overall, we love our new bench and highly recommend!
