Bench is like new, barely used. I bought it online and discovered some defects on one leg while unboxing it. The mfgr. offered to send a replacement leg, but never did. There are two small spots of black stuff that look like dried tar and some small marks above. If you put that side against a wall you can't see them.
It has a soft, comfy, vinyl top. I used it just a few times to change shoes, but no longer have room for it.
