This bench wasn't the easiest thing to put together but we did finally do it. Looks great but the two knobs don't align with each other. To adjust it we would have to take it all apart again and that would just be too much so we are living with it. Came well packaged and looks great once you get it together. Just make sure the knobs are aligned before you put it together. The black is really nice. Pillow is kind of thin but is ok.
