On the first month of me having this bench, one of the legs broke of at its base. The part where it attaches to the bottom of the bench was soft so there was nowhere we could attach the leg back. Then the top started to have problems. When you open the top it would ve hard to close it again. There is something going on with the metal that holds it together that i cant pinpoint. I had high hopes for this product but it was such a disappointment. Unfoetunately its cheaply made.
