The pre-drilled holes are not in the right places or are missing on this bench. I managed to assemble the bench but found that several assembly holes were missing and could not put in some wooden pegs without drilling holes myself. The bench seemed to be sturdy enough without those pegs, however, the are spring levels that are supposed to hold the seat up when using it for storage. Those springs are either too powerful or the pre-drilled holes are misaligned. When I did attach the springs they held the seat open at around a 45 degree angle unless I put something heavy on the seat. I found this frustrating so I just removed the springs but the seat now slams shut very loudly unless you carefully close it. Wayfare issued a refund because of these issues.
