I like the bench very much.  The finish is great. Nice looking piece of furniture,  just the right size, and easy to assemble.

Now for the problem - I hope I won't have to send it back. It's infested with a boring insect of some sort.   A day after I put it together I noticed a small ring of sawdust on top.  It happened twice more in the next 2 days in different locations.  Each time I cover the tiny hole with a small piece of paper towel drenched in wasp spray.  This seems to have done the trick.  Unfortunately it did a bit of damage to the finish.  If I see any more sawdust, I will be returning the bench.
