I love everything about the bench...the price point, the look, how the lid operates...but it came with a small stain on one panel as well as frayed fabric and the bottom panel did not fit exactly right.  You can see right through to the floor no matter how I placed it.  However, this piece will not be getting hard use and when I put it together I made sure I put the panel that had the spot on it on the side that would be up against the wall.
