Excellent value. Beautiful to look at, extremely solid and sturdy all- one piece construction. The fabric is very nice linen and the button tufting is very well done. It is a firm seat, not cushion-y. I'm using it as an entry bench so it gets used daily and my Jack Russell uses it constantly to look out the window and it is holding up superbly. It was delivered mid-October and it is now mid-December and it still looks brand new. I've had an occasional dirty paw print and it vacuums right off. Worth every penny. It looks, feels and wears like high end furniture.I purchased this bench in red and just love it. It arrived quickly and in excellent condition with no assembly required (: The bench wood is softly antiqued and the deep red tufted seat is done very well; it is a sturdy bench and should last for a long time. It would work perfectly at the foot of a king bed or as extra seating as it is nice to sit on... not sure yet which way I will use it.This bench is not exactly the size or color as shown. It is 18" deep in the middle, but the ends are tapered to 15". The color of the fabric is darker than shown. It is very well made. If it were the specifications as shown, it would be perfect. The darker color works for us, but if you are looking for a beige, this isn't the right one for you.Really a beautiful, sturdy piece of art! No assembly required! It came complete in a box and while I was a bit concerned about the condition of the shipping box, the bench was unscathed! Perfect landing bench for our stairwell and looking forward to many years to come!This bench is beautiful. The fabric on the top is a bit hard, but not in a bad way. I feel like it'll soften out with time. The color is spot-on as in the pictures, and the legs and wood trim are a nice antique-like finish that will go with many other finishes of furniture.This is very well made, nicely finished piece. The Sea mist is really the granite color and is grayer than it looks in the picture. I was expecting a more lighter, bluish tinged color. But it looks great otherwise and we are keeping it.I read many reviews and took a gamble on the color. Gamble worked in my favor. Bench is more beautiful in person. Definitely taupe color which matches our entry way beautifully.I cannot say enough how impressed I am with this bench. It’s beautiful, sturdy ,high quality ,packaged extremely well all in one piece. Exactly what I was looking for. Beautiful fabric and color, as well
