The packaging for this bench is inadequate. The box arrived battered, sagging and bursting. Inside, the small packet containing the hardware had split, the contents were scattered and many pieces were found only with great effort, wedged in various folds. Several of the smallest washers had obviously fallen through the gaping box seams and were gone. Luckily, these don't seem essential to the assembly. It was easy to put the bench together. It looks fine, and seems sturdy, but suffers a chip and a scratch on the seat due to the inadequate packaging. Not a great intro to Wayfair for these 1st-time customers.
