The Good: Wood is particle board, but the piece is very sturdy (especially the bench seat). Assembly took a while, but its pretty straight forward. Piece is flush w floor w plastic bottom and VERY easy to move. Also comes with wall mount on top for extra support. Piece is eye catching and great for small kids to sit, climb, and keep their school junk off the floor. Adding decor on top can also help give the appearance of extra height.
The Not So Good: We did have a missing screw hole or two, you probably need 2 people for assembly, and the distressed look is pretty nonexistent. It still worked for our room/overall decor, but that was a little disappointing that it was basically all black. Storage area above and below is not massive, but for umbrellas, kid shoes or other travel knick knacks, it would work fine.
Overall, its a nice piece, and the distressed part came in handy when we accidentally added our own contribution to the finish.
Less distressed in person but cute and sturdy
