The bench is exactly what I was looking for. However, the legs are held together with screws that require a screwdriver and the seat fastens with screws that use the enclosed allen wrench. At first I tried my cordless drill (which had to be charged) with a phillips bit, but the screw holes are angled and I just couldn't get the right torque to screw them in. I stripped one of the screws and thank goodness they included an extra one. I resorted to a very long phillips screwdriver, which I had to turn with both hands. I just don't have the strength I used to. Eventually I got it put together, but it took a LONG time.
