Having seen others that are much more expensive it works as advertised.  I do think that the Screws that fasten the seat cushion to the seat frame are either not long enough thick enough to create a strong pull / fastening OR the material in the padded seat is not solid / dense enough for the screws to make a strong .   I am expecting that I will be redoing how the seat pads are attached in the near future after use. I can appreciate some of the other negative comments but in my assembly experience I found the rest of the unit to go together really well.
