We bought this bench for our house in Illinois and the perfect size and height.

Looks exactly like the pictures. Very heavy and sturdy, it seems like it will last a long time. Beautiful color, and comfortable to sit on. Definitely recommend!

I like the bench but the quality is lacking. Unfortunately this was delivered to our vacation home, so by the time we unpackaged and examined it the return window had closed. Several of the joints in the wood (it is not one solid piece of wood) are rough and very obviously showing. See photos.
