Very impressive. One of the best made benches I've seen in a while, especially at the price. Heavy-duty hardware, clearly designed to last. The wood quality and workmanship is great. Lots of bracing where it's needed, lots of screws to hold it all together (preassembled). You need to basically screw the sides on using some fairly massive lag bolts. They include the wrenches you need. Note that it's oiled, wipe it down before sitting on it. I'll definitely buy from this company again. I also bought a second bench in a different style from the same company, equally as good.
