I wa very happy to find a smaller bench for my small apartment room, most were bed length, queen, and this one was the smallest I found with a great look..cushion is comfortable and seems it may last, and the wood also seems sturdy, so far so good, sat on it many times n had to tighten once when it loosened, but I may have not tightened well to begin with, since it has been fine, gave 4 stars for this as not sure if it was me or the product, but as of now is doing the trick..and it does look nice, good mid century look, really good for the price, most are expensive..enjoy
