Pros: Looks, built, quality and elegance. It goes well with the Baxton Studio collection (chair and banquette). The nails are bright silver in color and look awesome with the dark grey linen. Would highly recommend it for a hallway, bedroom, or mud room.
Cons: The bottom of the feet has plastic caps to prevent from scratching floors; however, we found that this made it slip on hardwood floor every time someone sat on it. They are low in height so cannot be used as a dinning bench. Ours was delivered with all tools spilled out of the packet. We searched through all the pokey nails under the bench for the parts but were missing three washer screws. This may have been an shipping issue, but did not work for us so decided to return.
