Overall, very pleased. It looks great and was easy to put together. It's better quality than I expected - it's sturdy and stable, nice to sit on. I docked one star because one of the slats is almost split around the screw holes and has obviously been glued together again along its length. We were careful where we put it and it isn't at all noticeable. The instructions could have been better- there are two slats with shaped edges meant for the top and seat edges - no mention in the instructions. I researched long and hard before purchasing - it's a good buy, even with the faults. Very happy, would purchase again and recommend to others.
