I bought mine as a previously opened bench from the Sales section. It was missing 2 little washers but that was no big deal.  I put it together without those pieces & it is a sturdy bench. I slapped 3 coats of paint on it & love it. I would recommend some light sanding first for other purchasers. I had a semi-rough patch on the seat & didn't notice until the first coat of paint was underway. Hence- 3 coats of paint. Great size & style. 

Pros: Super easy to put together. Comes with an allen wrench for quick assembly.
