This is a good bench for an entry way or a mud room where you need a place to sit while taking off shoes. The bench is neither tall nor wide enough to make for comfortable long term sitting, but is perfectly sufficient for light use. The material is particle board so this is not as sturdy as solid wood construction would be. The padded top stays in place with velcro, so it may be easily removed for cleaning if need be.
The bench arrives in pieces, but everything needed for assembly is included and the visual instructions are easy to follow. Overall the appearance is pleasing, but there is an area where the unfinished particle board is visible where the front pieces come together.
Serviceable small storage bench
