Purchased 2 of the convertible benches. First one went together just as directed. Second one had trouble the the bench seat lining up with one of the pre- drilled hole and had to work to make it fit. Also had trouble with 1 of the screws on the operating handle. Of 4 screws one would not thread into the nut. I need to get it replaced. Overall it is well made and engineered just frustrating when little things make the project take twice as long.
