Good Morning

Though this is a fine coffee table and good for feet while relaxing I'm not comfortable saying this would hold up to the use of people sitting on it over the long haul. With that said though I do have gorgeous modern benches made for this purpose for LESS $$ than this table is. There are 3 styles in multiple sizes on my site that would be terrific and they are classic modern design. I am going to attach the links to them on modernwow.com You can also find them on my Houzz under "Stools and Benches. Please call me if you want to discuss. Thanks!

you must be Alice, the reviews said you were very efficient. I appreciate your quick reply. The benches are really well priced and I will consider them. Currently, I'm remodeling fireplace, then painting, then new hardwood floors, so this will be down the road. As I was on Houzz this morning I saw your link on something. Thanks again, I am impressed with your modern knock-offs. I'll be back. Carolyn PS, if you send ad emails put me on your list.

Will do! We call them "reproductions":) Everyone deserves to live with great design, not just the 1% and that's what it would take to buy "originals" or "copyrighted" due to family legacies, scarcity and copyrights to the manufacturers... Honor the original creators, respect their ingenuity and know they were designing for the "masses" which is not how their products are priced now. I believe in GREAT DESIGN FOR ALL! Thanks Carolyn....
