Very difficult instructions. Took me a long no time to figure it out, then once I got it all together I noticed that the divider piece in the bench was laminated wrong and thus I put it in wrong. The side that should face up was particle board and the part that faces down toward the bottom of the bench was "wood grain". Since I put it in with the wood grain showing, facing up, the bench now has a see saw bump in the middle and can't be sat on. It's the second piece to go in so I'm not asking the whole darn thing apart again. Annoying. Otherwise, it looks great. It's just mostly unusable as a bench.
