A VERY regrettable purchase !!  Not sure why this item got so many 5 stars but this bench is the worst item I ever purchased at Joss&Main and will be the last. Very cheaply made, assembly was fairly easy but awkward because you never see the holes where the bolts screw into-you work blind and cross your fingers, and the interior fabric was ripped upon delivery. It also looks smaller than anticipated. The outer "velvet" fabric is also very poor quality. The bench was on sale but not worth half of the sale price.
