This bench looks great and is true to color. But the picture I’ve included is of one of the side pieces. It came broken in the box. Thankfully this piece is on the underside of wood and was glued without being visible when the Bench was assembled. I am usually annoyed with the amount of packaging that is in boxes for furniture, but in the case of this bench, there was very little to protect the wood along the edges. I would warn against rough handing. Other than that, great bench. Hi his is in our mud room now!
