I loved the look of this bench. Very similar to one Pottery Barn carries. I got the bench and wall shelf/cubby for less than one piece from PB, even with the extra shipping charge. I hoped the finish was more distressed. It is a laminate/type finish but it is still okay. I only gave 4 stars because the directions were not the best. My husband and I are very good at assembling things and this manufacturer could have done better with the directions. The pieces are not labeled so we had to be careful. Probably took 45 minutes for 2 people. Piece is very sturdy, no concerns about sitting on it. Looks great with the baskets I bought.
Great for the foyer
