Had difficulty putting together this bench storage item.  So I called to get some help.  The girl,I spoke with was very nice, seemed she was reading the same instructions I was dealing with.  Which didn’t help much.  
Some of the areas that were to snap together appeared worn, like someone else had it and also had difficulty with the instructions as well.  Also the top piece of the back was already assembled, which makes be believe someone had this before me.  Also the way the box was taped.  Anyway my son after some confusion finally put it together.  But some pieces bulge a little.  Hopefully sitting in the sun it will settle down. I want to store chair cushions in this bench but wondering if in rain, will the water get inside and wet the cushions?
