I have a mission styled bedroom set and wanted a bench to place under a window. This piece fit the bill. It was fairly easy to assemble. These were the minor problems I encountered: Pilot holes weren't drilled in one location. The diagram for installing the doors was backwards. I didn't realize this until I went to install the hinges, which necessitated swapping the doors. One of the magnets for the door latches was installed too far back so wouldn't keep the door shut. I had to relocate it. However, once all of these problems were overcome the piece looks great. One more thing - be sure to air the padded seat outside for at least a day. It has an overwhelming chemical scent.
