The bench arrived on time and went together easily.  We noted when we put it together that there was a black smudge on the side of the bench as received from Wayfair.  it is about 1 inch long and 1/4 inch wide.  Upon closer inspection we found it was not a smudge but was some sort of weaving error of the fabric.  I considered sending the bench back, but in the end we kept it because we needed it for guests visiting.
