For the money, this bench fit our needs fine, but it is a good thing we don’t really need to sit on it regularly.  It is flimsy, with no middle support (strange for such a long bench).  Packaging says up to 600 pounds but I doubt that!    The pieces don’t line up exactly right but that is not noticeable.  Lastly, the color is totally different than pictured or described.  I thought I was getting a weathered gray color, but instead it is nearly black - much more of a dark mahogany gray.
