The bench seems to be solid. I haven’t had a change to use it or bring it in my home since it came WET from being stained. I have so many questions about why it would even be wet but the inside of the box, the packing material (which wasn’t enough) and my hands were covered in stain when I unpacked it. This is after waiting a month for Wayfair to figure out why my order never shipped. 2/2 of my last orders with Wayfair have had significant issues.
