Beautiful bench!  Shipped VERY quickly.  Instructions easy to follow and assembly should have been very simple, but one of the holes in the one of the bench legs did not align with the base of the bench as it should have, so we could not install one of the screws into the bench by hand.  We needed to drill into the underside of the furniture to allow the screw to pass.  This was frustrating, but once this was corrected, the bench was quickly put together.  The variation in the wood is truly beautiful.  We intended to put a cushion on top of the bench, but it truly is so pretty that weve decided to leave the wood exposed and possibly add a throw pillow or two, as the bench is pictured on Wayfair.  Despite the minor issue with installation, we are very VERY happy with our purchase!
