Assembly was easy and the bench is solid.  It's basically what we expected. A nice bench for our entryway with decent storage.  The photo above as I am writing this review does not show the two wicker baskets that were included with ours.  The one complaint may be that sliding the brown baskets in/out does leave little smudge marks on the white finish but they're not too noticeable and not really a big deal, especially for our mudroom.
