This bench is fantastic! I needed something for the end of my bed 1. to serve as a "catch all", and 2. to aid my 15lb. dachshund getting on and off my bed. I compared other tufted black benches throughout the website, and decided to go with this one. The bench shipped fully assembled, the weight of the bench is sturdy and the chrome looks really nice. The "leather" hasn't shown any wear this far. I would recommend this bench to anyone looking to add a chic modern piece without breaking the bank.
