This bench is AMAZING and wonderful quality, BUT a significant amount of the holes to build this were majorily out of place. We had a ton of pushing and shoving and trying so hard to make it work. We followed the directions to a T and are pros and building things. Luckily wayfair is sending a replacement. Seriously gorgeous bench, but a huge pain trying to build. Still trying and in 2 hours.. Some screws are off so much there is just no way they'll go in. With the wonderful costumer service of wayfair, this bench is worth it still.. We hope no one else has the same struggle to build!
