This bench is great, it looks great and it is comfortable and it is sturdy and an adult full-size male can sit on it comfortably, putting it together was a little tricky some of the holes were not drilled through enough but I was able to put it together with the tool provided and I am happy that I have this, It did suffer a dent in the side in shipping but fortunately it doesn't show where I have the bench placed and after all the effort to assemble I wasn't going to return it for another as I didn't want to go through unpackaging and assembling again
