Decent looks, tremendous sound
It looks neat. As others mentioned, the sides and back are porous. But I can hardly see it from 1-2m away
Playability is good. The bridge might need sanding down a bit for a comfortable action. The pins are nice, and the tuner seems to be good quality with a nice ratio as well.
The sound is incredible for a guitar at this price range. It has sustain for days and an incredible volume. It rings out with clarity and you can hear a wide spectrum of frequencies. I haven't changed the strings yet, and I'm guessing the sound will improve even more once the stock strings have been swapped out. Overall, it's a wonderful instrument that is hard to put down once you start playing.
It's not a high-end killer, but it competes against all other guitars below the high-end category. A sub-350 euro all-solid guitar with this level of craftsmanship should be a no-brainer.

The real deal
Playing for at least 20 years, in my acoustic resume I have a martin D35, now it cost 4000€, a Gibson Songmaker (Canadian hand made) and by gone... This is amazing, yes it is far from perfect but if is perfect for what it is! the best acoustic you can get for the cash. I love playing it. And believe me you will to. The action out of the box is perfect, the comfort also. The aesthetics.
Go for it. And just be proud now a days you can have quality with out spending years of savings. It's amazing the evolution from when I started playing to now a days. Cheers!

Is there a better acoustic for this price?
As some other have mentioned, some of the wood is kind of porous, but it doesn't detract for me. I love the look of this guitar.
It arrived well set up but buzzy, nothing a slight rod adjustment didn't fix.
The guitar itself sounds fantastic in my opinion, not the loudest, but everything is there from low to high, and it's extremely comfortable to play thanks to the neck shape and the armrest notch.
It's my first Harley Benton and just couldn't resist an all solid guitar at this price. And I'm a little blown away to be honest.
I fitted a journytek passive pickup and it sounds fantastic through my PA.
Again, at this price point it's amazing value, I don't think there's better for €300
