This bench is a great value!  However, my choice of beige velvet fabric turned out to be beige linen-like fabric.  I decided I could recover the bench easily enough (it unscrews easily from the very sturdy base) instead of having to return and hunt for another curved bench.  The description should be edited to say "Abigail Curved Bench" and in the color choices, the proper fabric color/types should be listed. That way everyone knows what they're getting before ordering ;)
