Overall, the bench went together very easily, but I gave it 3 stars because it arrived with A LOT of scratches.  It looked like someone else had previously attempted to put it together and failed miserably.  There were scratches on all four corners of the seating area near where you would put in the screws.  I did contact Wayfair for a discount and they were quick to issue one.  We are hoping to be able to spray paint the 5 or 6 areas that are marked up and see if that solves the problem.
