I think if the instructions had been extremely more detailed, then I'd be more excited about this bench. I had to undo the build 3 times and it was extremely frustrating.  Only to realize that once I was done, the front piece (to hide the view of the black bin from the front) didn't get installed at just the right moment and there was no way to "wedge" it in after the fact without damaging the bench. 
All in all, it will work good as a potting bench and thankfully with the measurements I took it fits perfectly in it's intended spot.
