I've bought two of these--it's a beautiful, hand-painted piece that easily fits into small spaces as a small table/bench--very versatile, unique-looking, full of character.

good for tight spaces
toongirl  from bloomington,in,  Jan 24, 2009
i have very little space in my apartment and it fits perfectly by my chair as an end table for my tv remotes and cup of coffee.i don't dare sit on it because i'm too heavy.it is designed for a small person.my mom thought it looked very cute.it does sit lower than the chair arm ,so my dog is not tempted to jump on it yet since i got it.it is very small for a bench.it does go with any world travel look.

A Beautiful Item!!
surelyall126  from West Reading, PA,  Jul 30, 2008
This piece is a nicely crafted and handpainted. I have received several comments from people about the uniqueness of the piece. It is an accent table that I will be displaying in my living room. I would recommend this table if you are interested in African artifacts. Thank you for a beautiful product!!

I received the bench and it was well packed and completely assembled. It was much smaller than I expected it to be, but it is cute and still fits my decor scheme.

Charrming bench
marmorado  from Albuquerque, NM,  Apr 30, 2008
The bench is attractive and sturdy. My only disappointment was that it was smaller than I had imagined. It is really more a decorative item than a practical piece of furniture, although a child could certainly sit on it comfortably.

Beautiful, earthy, ACCENT bench
exnyker  from Rockville, MD,  Apr 21, 2008
I capitalized ACCENT in my review title, because this is what I feel the bench is - a beautiful, earthy, accent bench. And... I love it. If you're looking a bench sturdy & secure enough for people to sit on? I'm not sure this is for you. I didn't get the bench for that purpose. I needed something to put in an area of a room that needed "something" - and this is perfect for that use. Yes - it's secure enough to put plants on (but why cover the artwork on the seat?), and may even be sturdy enough to sit down on (I've not even sat on the bench - it's a little low for me, anyway). And, I'm not saying the bench is wobbly - I don't feel it is. But, there are benches clearly made to be sat on, and there are benches clearly made to be looked at - and this falls into the latter. The colors of the bench are wonderful - warm. The look of the bench is terrific. It really dressed up an area (funny... "primitive" dresses up an area" - but it's true) - the room suddenly "made sense" when I placed this bench under a window. Would I get this again? In a heartbeat. I love it.

Colorful
Twig  from Iowa,  Mar 31, 2008
This is a nice bench, quite solid. It is too small for a good end table, but works well on our screen porch - a place to set a book or a drink. It is distinctive, colorful, and a nice conversation piece.

the bench was much smaller then i expected...there is no way it can be used as a foot stool or an ottaman...it can only be used as an end table.

Awesome piece for the price!
helenito  from Boise, Idaho,  Jul 2, 2007
This bench is low enough to use as an foot stool for the couch and high enough to use as a (portable) end table as well. It is sturdy, beautiful (even if rustic), and well worth the trade! Didn't seem right until I turned the stool/table so I am looking at the swirl clockwise and then, from a feng shui perspective, it felt perfect! If you use it to set drinks on though, you will want to use coasters or shellack the top to seal. This piece of furniture makes me happy to look at!

I like it
linouch  from San Diego,  Apr 17, 2007
This is just what I was looking for. Something that looked handmade and felt a little rustic but yet original. I thought it would be a little bigger though but that's O.K. because I can use it as a little table next to my couch where I can put a cup of coffe or snack, even a book. It also comes assembled which is always a plus. I am even considering buying another one . If your home style is more formal I would not recommend this because it is a little rough looking. Thanks overstock.com!

Excellent Quality
redeemed4real2  from Leesburg,VA,  Mar 18, 2007
The bench went perfectly where i had initally said I would place it. It is sturdy, even though I have forbidden anyone to sit on it.

Somewhat Disappointing
irishladyshopper  from Sarasota, Florida,  Mar 14, 2007
I would recommend this product with some reservations, it is not at all as depicted, the finish is not glossy and there is a black paint mark in area on top where carving is .... being that it is handmade I decided to keep it as it is a cute little bench - just not as well finished as the usual products I purchase from O.....

Nice Little Buy
southgeorgia  from Georgia,  Feb 22, 2007
This is a nice little buy. I purchased the elephant also and he looks like standing right there on the bench.

I checked no, I would not recommend but I would with some caveats. The table is very lightweight and not glossy as in picture. It seems to be a poor imitation of the picture and the quality is less than what I expected. Overall, I'm content with it but not enough that I would unquestioningly recommend it.

This bench was smaller than I anticipated, but is very nicely handcrafted. I just love the designs on the bench.

The bench was as described, very sturdy. I returned it because there were too many flaws. Chipped up and a big flaw in the paint right on the top so it was the first thing you saw. Overstock customer service has to be some of the best I have received. Thank you for a smooth transaction!

This is a wonderful find! The details are rich and the quality is excellent. It's a little smaller than I had hoped, but it works with the decor of the room it's in.
