Bench looks as expected. Lightweight, as previous reviewers noted, and easy to assemble once you discard the garbage wrench included with the hardware. As you can see in the photo, there was a good nick in the bench leg when it arrived. It was packaged well in the box, so I can only assume it goes out of the factory like this. This has happened with other Wayfair purchases of mine...a big enough defect to be noticeable but not big enough where I can stomach the hassle of returns. That aside, the bench is exactly what I expected and am pleased with the purchase.
