Beautiful HEAVY solid wood bench. Arrives fully-assembled. Perfect for the “mud area” of our mountain vacation home. I gave it four stars, instead of five, because there were two spots where they had filled a knothole or something with a lighter wood cut in the SHAPE OF A BOW about 1&1/2 inches long. WHY the heck would they do that? It makes NO sense. It is SO obvious and looks SO odd. I wish I had taken a picture of the bows but did not, and am now back at our primary home. Tempted to exchange it for a replacement one, but there is no guarantee that the new one won’t have the same bizarre feature, and this bench is FAR TOO HEaVY to try to box back up and return. I am just telling myself that the bows add to its rustic appearance. LOL.
