Perfect bench for sitting by the lake while preparing for kayaking. Sturdy and well made. I was able to put it together by myself but more detailed assembly instructions would have been helpful. Although you would think it should be, it isn’t obvious which piece is the seat and which is the back. The whole bench consists of just five pieces but make sure that they fit together exactly right before you screw them together tightly. It is also tricky to attach the plastic caps over the screws without breaking them, so just when you thought you were done, you have to cap about two dozen screws! In the end, well worth the price.
