This bench is well constructed, however, the color on the website is not accurate.  It is NOT an ash blond color.  The upholstery is dark milk chocolate, and the wood is a very dark brown!  I called customer service and they said they wood order another and check the inside of the box to see the color.  They did not do that because they sent me another dark brown bench.  Now I have to return both of them.  Very disappointed with the bench and the service provided.
