I bought this work/storage bench for my garage to keep my garden supplies on. It comes in a large box with wooden slates and the nuts an bolts. I purchased the cedar and it has a nice scent.  The bench once assembled is terrific! Perfect for my use and surprisingly sturdy.  Only problem was the "directions".  They are basically non-existent and if you put one piece the wrong way good luck.  I had to take it apart twice to correct errors in assembly.  I definitely recommend the piece but strongly encourage the retailer to include better directions.
