The Bank acts fairly stable. Seat and back are joined by a hinge, which of course also contributes to strength. A bit inconvenient for us is the depth of the bench, since this is in the corridor with us. The total depth of the Bank, ie from the wall up all the way forward is 60cm. Since the bank can not help it, therefore no devaluation. We had in this regard requested the dealer, but my wife was too impatient to wait for the answer (the following day came) ... Now it's just a bit tighter in the hallway. The Bank itself has some "rust spots" that are painted and therefore do not rub off, but give an antiquated appearance of the bank at least at first glance.
