Got this bench to replace a similar one which was torn to bits by my cat. It does what it needs to, good size and quality for the price. The fabric is soft and may be more suited to a low-use situation like a bedroom bench. We are currently using it as a coffee table/sofa ottoman. I'm afraid the fabric may not hold up to years of use and feet on it, I feel like I have to cover it sometimes. But overall its a nice piece and good value
