A bit challenging to put together on one's own, but manageable with persistence.  Nice natural color. Minor scuffs to the wood and a chunk missing on one of the braces not attributable to shipping as the packaging was very well done. The seat is a little warped and therefore squeaks when ever someone sits down, but the bench feels very sturdy and has been complimented on by guests.

Pros: Good deal for the price; looks just like the pictures & is a nice small bench.
Cons: minor damage to wood
