Instructions were printed so faintly they were barely legible (like someone's printer was almost out of ink). The tools provided were a joke to use (allen wrench to hold bolt from moving while using another allen wrench to fasten bolt to wood. Never heard of cams I guess, they would have been so much easier and less time consuming. Putting together was not a one person job. Count on at least a few hours to put together. Not sure I will ever trust it to let anyone sit on it. It is a very attractive bench will use it to hold flowers. Disappointed
