I received the bench and the wood top was damaged.  There's a hole in the middle that the wood bars bolt into and it doesnt fit securely now due to the overly large hole that exists.  However, im not using the bench as a seating bench, im using it to put art frames and blankets on, so it doesn't matter that much that its broken.  I don't see this bench being sturdy enough to use as seating though. Looks nice.
