This bench, while beautiful, has a manufacturing defect that makes it an unsuitable choice.  Each leg has two inset threads for accompanying screws to thread into and hold the leg in place.  One of the two inset threads on two out of four legs were damaged and would not allow the screws to thread.  Joss & Main kindly sent another bench free of charge since replacement legs were unavailable.  However one of the legs on the replacement bench had the same defect on both inset threads and was totally unusable.  We were able to cobble together one bench, but 3 of 8 legs with the same problem shows that the manufacturer has a serious quality control problem.
