If I had reviewed this bench within 60 days of having purchased it I would have given it 5 stars. It looked great and seemed more finished than other benches at this price point. And I initially thought the quality was excellent. But then cracks suddenly appeared in one of the arms just after two months of only occasional use. Fortunately Wayfair was nice enough to replace it after the 30 day return period and maybe the replacement will hold up. If it doesn't it would be a real shame because it's otherwise a very nice piece.
