I give the bench a 4 star rating, as its finish is a little rough in places.  The instructions are terrible as there are no written directions, just a very, very small diagram. Figuring what to do with the screws was more trial and error than trying to Interprete the diagram.  Overall the bench looks good in my courtyard.  What I'm extremely happy with is the 71" length...hard to find.  The bench is sturdy and the acacia wood with stain looks similar to teak but has a much friendlier price tag.
