Assembly was quick and the finished product looks very nice. You can see the black bolts from the sides which I would prefer to avoid but it isn't a deal breaker. The cushion is comfortable and the shallow in bench storage is a nice touch. I'm using this as a bench at my large "Oshea Dining Table" paired with two "Allgood Side Chair by Highland Dunes". It is very difficult to find a matching cushioned chair/bench combo on this site and I think this is as close as it gets.
