I love love love this bench.  It's the perfect size for the niche on my front porch and a fantastic design.  The reason for four stars instead of five is that in spite of being well designed and well packed, it arrived damaged.  There are two nasty dents one on the front of each arm.  They're in a very visible place and will require wood fill and paint to fix.  Since the paint is nicely finished, I hate to create a patch that is unlikely to match the rest of the piece, so may end up living with the dents, which is a huge disappointment.
