First of all, this does not look rustic at all. Secondly, when I picked up the box to bring it to my house, it was so light. I knew that it wouldn’t be sturdy. As I put it together, multiple pieces fell apart, and screw holes weren’t lined up. Last but not least when putting two of the screws in the rivets went through the top and broke the bench.

I absolutely love this bench! It looks even better in person and fits perfectly in my entryway. It feels sturdy, was easy to put together, and the quality is really nice for the price. The color and style are exactly what I was looking for and it really helped complete the space. Definitely happy with my purchase and would recommend it!

This is a great piece and was easy to assemble and looks great in my space . Shipped quickly

This is not solid wood, it is super light weight. The color of wood is nowhere near Natural Oak, it is much darker. Wood appears plasticized and it is not at all rustic nor as described on the website. Shame you can't find real furniture anywhere these days.

Nice looking for the most part and will serve its purpose. We can sit on it fine and keeps our shoes out of the way. You can fit very short shoes underneath, mainly flip flops. The wood seems to be pretty soft and a few small skinny strips came off during assembly, revealing the light colored wood underneath. One of the side rails cracked at the point where it screws in during assembly just lightly tightening it.
