So, I wish I could give this 2 ½ stars... The bench is simple, which was expected. Nothing fancy. The weight limit advertised is incredible (hoping we never have to find out how accurate it is). But, here's why the ½ star I wish I could give... It's better than 2 stars, but not quite 3 stars simply because of how incredibly DIFFICULT it was to assemble. By far, these were the WORST instructions I've ever seen. I wish I had taken a photo to share with you, but you pretty much had to figure it out on your own. Then, getting it all aligned, regardless of how loose you had the screws in... Yeah, that was another trial. It ended up being a 2 person job, and shouldn't have been. Plus, due to the crazy angles you were having to use, I had to have my husband come in with his power drill just to get them in. Thankfully, none of the screws came through and it all seems to be solidly together.
