The bench itself is great.  However the box it shipped in absolutely reeked.  A small I can't even describe.  It was delivered to my condo and left outside my door.  When I got home I could smell something getting off the elevator that was horrible.  Came to realize with the help of our building custodian that it was in fact not the building but my delivered box.  We used gloves to open it and immediately dispose of the box.  Unfortunately it permeated everything in the box.  The wood of the seat, the instructions to put together and even the styrofoam protection.  I t has to sit out on the balcony for 5 days before it was "ok" to bring in and assemble.  It was my first purchase from Wayfair so not thrilled to say the least.  It was easy to assemble and looks great in the entry way.
