I own a staging company and am always looking for exciting inexpensive pieces. After reading the reviews I was looking forward to receive this piece. The first thing I noticed was a dime-sized grease mark on a corner of the seat cushion,. I wasn't too concerned as I thought it would be hidden during assembly. Next I had no instructions, but again wasn't too concerned since I have experience putting together furniture. Then I noticed one part of the hardware packgage had been opened then taped over. I said uh oh, I must have gotten the dreaded "return from another customer". Assembly was a little difficult, I needed my 2 young daughters to help me, and the grease stain did not get covered up. I probably would have returned it at this point but the stain cleaned OK and I needed it for a job. It definintely is a cute piece, I woluld most likely try another one. I think this makes a good occasional piece, has a very nice look, but don't think it would be good for regular use.
