Story Behind the Art:
'My name is Siriporn Jeerang, but I go by Toy, born in 1968 in Ban Tung, a quiet village located in Man Wen district. With nine brothers and sisters and my parents were poor farmers, there were many things we could not afford. One of them was school, so I only studied up to grade 6. After school I did many things, before getting a job in a shop located in a large tourist village close by. Later married my husband, he used to be a skilled wood carver. He would carve a couple of months an intricate and large teakwood piece, and then would sell it very inexpensively to some buyer. It was an impossible way to earn a living, sometimes waiting for months before getting an income. One day it occurred to us that we could use our skills for ourselves. We took the chance and setup a little workshop at home in 2003. It worked wonderful this way, and still does. We were able to gradually employ some of our friends in the village, about 9 people, and moved the workshop 50 meters away from home. The way we work is very simple, family and community style.'

Makes a nice coffee table!!
I am very happy with this bench. I am using it as a coffee table; it is the perfect size and goes well in the room. Although you can not see the back side, it is finished enough that it doesn't need to be against a wall. And the top is sturdy enough to handle heavy items. My only complaint, but it is minor, is that the dark stain on the piece is still wet and rubs off easily. Fortunately I noticed this before I put it on our new rug and have rubbed it down several times with a clean cloth and it seems to be ok now. It really is a lovely, well-made piece of furniture.

Nice Bench
First time using overstock and had a pleasant experience. The bench came in 3 business days, which was quicker than expected. The bench itself is very nice. As one of the posters had mention, the backing is finished enough to be used as a coffe table. For the price, the bench is worth the purchase.

Beautiful and Sturdy Enough
This is an exceptional value - nice looking and not very pricey either. Overstock delivery was also very quick. As mentioned, the top may look flimsy but it can support a lot of weight - even two kids who keep jumping up and down on it.

Just What We Needed!
This bench sits at the foot of our queen-sized bed, and it fits just right! It provides a sturdy seat, extra storage (I fit four stacks of sweaters and tops inside), and adds a nice texture to the decor. This bench would blend in a decorating style that is tropical, eclectic, or even traditional. We bought the Tribeca bed on Overstock, too, and they go nicely together. I wiped it down and aired it out before placing it, as others have suggested.

Bench is OK
This piece is only OK in my opinion. . The picture makes it appear a little bulkier and cleaner looking than it actually is. Also the picture shows the item to be stained brown when actually it is ebony (almost black) in color. I am not using this piece of furniture where I intended but have put in in my hallway, and actually it looks pretty good there. Overall I'm OK with the piece.

Much Darker than the picture
Needed extra seating for the Living room that could also be storage. This is a beautiful piece of furniture, but it is a much much darker color than the picture. The wood is an espressor color which makes for a drastic contrast with the bamboo. But I do love it and am glad I purchased it.

Great for our entry hall
So glad I found this! Helps finally organize the hallway and keeps soccer bags, cleats, school backpacks off my living furniture and kitchen floor. Could be repurposed as a cool coffee table or bedroom bench. Love the reed caning. Just wish it was 6 inches taller for easier sitting (assuming the kids ever start putting away their stuff in various closets!)
