I use this bench as a place for friends to sit and put their shoes back on after being here a while. It is placed behind our front door and gets used fairly often as people either come in or go out. (Im afraid it also gets used as a semi step stool for reaching high items in the front foyer.) Anyway, after reading all the reviews I decided Id try it. With self-assembly furniture you usually get what you paid for -- and I was pleasantly surprised! This bench went together in about 5 minutes while watching college football. The sturdiness is appreciated, as the adults will be sitting, squirming, and bending over using the stool as a support. I was a little surprised at how Dark the Brown was . No worries, it fit into the front foyer as if Id designed it around the bench! BTW, the differences in the pictures is extra light -- nothing else.
Sturdy, Well Made, Dark Brown covered Bench.
