Did everyone think this bench was easy to put together It was insane just to try to get it out of the box. OMG! It was packed solid! Putting it together was easy at first, until you get to the cross piece attaching to the lets. The last two screws would just not go in because the holes didn't line up perfectly. So I had to leave off the two washers and then very slowly turn the screw while holding the holes in line. There were two dirty spots on the fabric that came right off with a slightly damp sponge and a dab of dish soap. Bought it to on against a small wall in my bedroom to sit on while I put on my shoes. Goes well--neutral fabric goes perfectly with coloring in bedroom. Bronze metal frame matches other bronze metal in room. But literally, I had to ask angels at 1:00 a.m. to help me get those rascally last two screws in!
