Terrific bench, it’s the second one of its kind that I ordered. It’s a breeze to assemble. However, some of the slats were scratched and some had sticky tape marks. I thought this might have been a repackaged item, but if so, it had all the pieces yet with some imperfections. Overall, it’s a sturdy bench. I plan to put it outside in the spring once the weather improves. I’ll update if the bench doesn’t hold up.
