I made my 1st order of this bench  waaay back in September; however, the box was damaged and the screws for assembly were missing. SEVERAL phone calls later- I FINALLY received a 2nd bench at no charge. The 2nd bench had the screws (yay!) but- was missing a drilled hole (boo!). I had to use a piece of the #1 bench in order to put it together correctly. All in all the finished bench is fairly sturdy; however,
considering the time spent on this order due to missing screws  (2.5 months), I probably wouldn't recommend ordering.
