This bench is absolutely sublime. The quality of the leather is top-notch. The x design is really interesting an unusual. The metal crafting is superb. I love the tufting, too; very mid-century. A friend of mine said she saw a bench NOT AS NICE as this for $1400 in a design store. I don't doubt. To get all of the above for this price, with no shipping and tax, is a miracle. Thanks, Great Offer Stock. I'm in love with it.
