I got this bench at an estate sale. Sellers didn't know anything about its history so I don't have any background info. The upholstery fabric is faux tiger. Overall dimensions: 36"L x 21"D x 29"H. Seat height approx 18". The bench is in excellent condition for its age. Very sturdy and no rips, tears, or stains on the upholstery. Would like to know more specifics about the piece like style, time period when it was likely made, type wood, etc since I plan to resell. Haven't been able to find anything like it on the internet. Thank you.
