This shoe bench arrived as scheduled in a shabby, damaged box, but the bench was unharmed, and all the parts were there. It is utilitarian. It does the job just as I want it to. It is strong and sturdy. However, it is crudely manufactured. The soldering is slovenly, and the faux leather/covered cushion is very sloppily stitched and fitted. But it is utilitarian, not a fashion display. If it were a piece of furniture to display art or to set drinks on, Id send it back. But it works. It was easy to assemble. The instructions were adequate and included a recommendation to leave the screws kind of loose until you have managed to attach the sorry faux leather seat and then tighten it all up.
Soon I will pull that nasty faux leather off and replace it with with real leather.
