This was a gift for my best friend and her husband as a memorial to their recently deceased son. I wanted it to be perfect, of course, but there were blemishes in the surface paint, scratches and knicks in the paint surfaces, and it did not sit level once it was assembled due to one front leg having a deeper curve in it than the other. Assembly was simple, bench was beautiful overall, and very much appreciated by the recipients. The back dragonfly portion is much heavier/sturdier than the remainder of the bench material.
