This bench is wonderful overall, a bit hard to sit on but it looks great at the end of my bed and serves the purpose for storage.  It was easy to put together, maybe 10 minutes at most.  I was not happy with FedEx delivery though.  They just dumped the box on my porch and left without ringing bell or knocking.  Luckily I heard them otherwise it would have been soaked in the torrential rains we have been having. The box was damaged on two sides but the bench was packed well enough that it was okay.
