The bench looks quite nice as a small coffee table.  I find it interesting that the description says that there is no assembly but in the reviews assembly is mentioned.  The assembly required would be very easy if the two screws that attach the legs to the crossbar could be put in differently.  The small space in the bar left very little room for turning the allen wrench and made that experience much more frustrating than it should have, which is the only reason that I didn't give 5 stars. 

I was very pleased with the care that was taken to ensure that the bench arrived in good condition.  The corners of the box were stabilized to make it virtually impossible to dent the package.
