Great bench, but couldn't give it 5 stars because of the pungent smell from the item. Obviously the manufacturer does not allow for the product to air out before sealing. We are having to let that happen in our house. Trust me when I say it's STRONG. I have just painted & installed hardwood floors in my room & the smell from the bench is the only aroma in the house. It is really good quality & was easy to assemble, but would have never purchased an item in person with a smell of that magnitude
