Disappointing! The bench is nowhere near as sturdy as it appears. It’s rickets. I wouldn’t trust it to sit on. I’ll keep it only because I’m using it to set things on in our mud room, so I’m not so concerned about someone sitting on it. The finish is very rough. At some point I’ll sand it down and add some cleats to make it sturdier. That shouldn’t be necessary, especially at this price point. On the plus side, the size is perfect, the color is as represented and it was very well packaged.

This bench is so versatile. In our current home, it allows our plants to take advantage of all the natural light in our kitchen, and we put cookbooks on the little shelf. In our next place, this will be in our entryway, and we'll store our hats, mittens, scarves, umbrellas, etc. in baskets on the little shelf. I love things that can be used in many ways, and this bench fits the bill. It's sturdy, but also quite easy to move.

Very sturdy and a soft faded red color, fit perfectly in the space .

I bought the green bench. It's the perfect fit for my mudroom. I especially love the shelf so we have double the space for shoes.

Solid wood bench fits the bill. Product is as-advertised and is a great fit in our home. Unfortunately, it arrived damaged during shipping but was able to get a credit on my order.

Perfect The kids love it
