Love the look of this bench! And relatively easy to put together. Only reason I gave 4 stars is because I think it should be made to withstand a weight limit more than 250 lbs which is exactly what the chair weight limit is. Just think it's odd...and should be built for at least 2 (average size) adults if not 3. Just something to consider if you are buying this bench. Unless you are buying for kids to sit on, then that's a different story.
