We love the look of the bench.  We were however disappointed by 2 things. One was a small chip in one of the legs. Thankfully the chipped piece was there and I was able to fix with some wood glue. The main disappointment is that the holes the legs screw into we’re not drilled in alignment. This means that even if you build the legs first and balance to the floor, once you attach to the seat, the legs torque and the bench is no longer balanced.  I used different thickness felt pads to level it but I shouldn’t have to. Also would be nice if the bolds were long enough. I had to omit the lock washers in order for it to thread properly. Looks great tho!
