Our benches were very easy to assemble, color was just like the one in the picture, nice and sterdy yet not super heavy. Feels durable. The cushions feel somewhat like memory foam, it is very comfortable. Loved it and will buy next when these wear out.
I love this bench!! But it was definitely not 17.9 inches high as advertised. It was 19 inches...will have to do some sawing.
Easy to assemble. Great look (I got the burgundy). No issues to report.
