INSANE! This was crazy hard to put together. It took us a couple of hours and we almost gave up on the bench. The directions are confusing and the fabric is so tight and has to be stretched so much to put it together that it seems impossible. On top of that several of the metal pieces came with scratches or dents before we even put it together. I’ve put together a lot of furniture over the years but this was by far the hardest! Unless you have some strong guys and a couple hours to put this together, I do not recommend.
