This was simply to put together and looks amazing. The 2 star deduction was because I bought this as a dinner table bench seat. Its the perfect look, but the cushion on the top gets very uncomfortable, even the buttons snag on clothes. When a guest "scooted over" the frame is "dove tailed" on the long end without support and it cracked. It still works, but I am terrified someone is going to sit on it wrong. I think this could be better made with a shorter span OR maybe a solid piece that goes the length that's a bit more wide? It is a great product just watch the middle.
