So. This bench is beautiful.  Well made.  Came in perfect condition and was easy for me to assemble.  Sadly....my cats did damage to the fabric within the first hour I bought it. Unlike the polyester couch I just got from Wayfair which is very similar in softness and look.... this fabric cannot withstand any use that is not serious kid gloves. I've had the polyester couch for many days with zero damage and have had to conver this very beautiful bench I spent with tax almost $400 on to stop any further damage. I'm an honest person so did not send this back saying it came damaged but after one hour and visible marks I really wanted to. If you do not have children or pets I highly recommend this bench.  It made me smile for an hour but I cannot enjoy it!! Also it's a bluish grey so it brightens the room and is really elegant!
