I was so skeptical about buying such a piece of furniture online after only seeing some tiny pictures and reading reviews. BUT...I'm so glad I took the chance! The bench is BEAUTIFUL!! I absolutely love it!!! The color is rich and the pictures here do not do it justice! It is HUGE. Thank God I had my neighbor to help me move this upstairs and into my place. It is very spacious and such a classy piece. One I plan to have around forever.
My only gripes are that it is very firm--not comfy to sit on, but I got it for storage and decorative purposes so for me, the comfort level isn't a big concern. The leather is very soft and does scratch easily. My cat jumped up on it and when he jumped off, he left a couple scratches on it...and his nails are very short. I recommend a leather conditioner to help keep this looking its best. Lastly, like other reviews on here, I'm not sure what those four screws and the T wrench are for either. Maybe for the hinge on the inside if it breaks?? Not sure. The legs took 5 minutes to attach...no instructions but easy to figure out.
I HIGHLY recommend this product!! It is a STEAL at this price. I did a lot of comparison shopping before I purchased this and I'm so glad I did! Make this purchase, you will not regret it!
One last note: This could double as a coffee table! Yes, it is that big and that firm! LOVING IT!!!
