Overall I really like this bench. My brother-in-law assembled it for me and he didn't have too much trouble. He said the key is to not screw things in too tight till the end. I'm surprised how comfortable it was to sit on! That is a major plus. As much as I like the structure of this bench I'm very disappointed in the color. The description says it's white. The picture shows it as being a true white. In the question section someone asked about the color and the Wayfair representative said white. This bench is not white. I would say it's "antique white" almost yellowish. For many this may not be a problem but I have very white moldings and a white quilt. This contrast makes the bench look dull and dirty. I really wish the description would have been better. Also, the baskets are terrible. We tried re-shaping them with pliers but gave up because it was not working. Be prepared to replace them.
