Handsome piece of furniture -- but the wood frame supporting one leg cracked and broke at a knot hole the first time someone sat on it. I have wood shop tools, so it was less trouble to do a glue & screw repair than hassling with a return, especially on a lower priced item like this. Once the clamps came off, it was sturdy, and the crack line in the finish was all but invisible after application of dark Old English scratch cover. The fabric color was perfect for the room it's in, and I liked the look of the bench enough that it more than made up for the irritation of repairing it. "Made in China" prominent on the carton. Great appearance but mediocre quality rates just 3 stars.
