Assembly was easy!Very nice, sturdy and will make a great extra seating option.I placed it in the entryway so that we can sit while removing our shoes when we enter the house.Used for extra seating and when not used, it's a nice decor piece.This is just as lovely in person as it was online. Shout out to the seller who contacted me right away when they realized they oversold this color. I ended up getting it in this color anyway, and very quickly!One thing, it is much lighter than what the picture shows. Luckily it still works for my color scheme.It’s a beautiful bench, the only thing I didn’t like is one of the screw didn’t align on the hole of the wooden legs....but over all it’s a beautiful piece.We ordered 2 of those benches in the ivory tone. The product arrived fast but unfortunately one of the benches was damaged. I contacted the seller right away and after a few exchanges with Lily (the customer care agent) a replacement was shipped. Less than 5 hours after sending them an email!Lily was a fantastic and their product is great. The bench is well made and is nice to look at.So I originally gave this a 1 star because I was sent the wrong color. But I decided that my dogs needed it to get on the bed and although I think the aqua one would look better the grey probably won’t show as much dirt from the dogs! It arrived earlier than expected & was extremely easy to put together. Overall I’m pleased besides the fact that I received the wrong color.
