Bench is very substantial. The leg design allows for firm support even with larger adults on bench, no sagging or bending.  UPS unable to deliver due to damage and a new one was shipped very quickly.  Easy to put together by one adult as my husband surprised me and had it put together before I got home.  Was looking at similar benches for around $500. But no one can tell I paid less than $200 for this.  Neighbors are jealous and asked where they could get one.!!!
