The Bench arrived in a flat back with excellent instructions for assembly (you do have to have your own screwdrivers). 

It’s a gorgeous piece of furniture and the solid wood gives it weight. The cushion is hard but the fabric looks durable. 

The drawers are quite stiff and arrive pre-greased. We did need to grease them again since they were hard to open close.

This item gets 4 stars because The mechanism on the drawers comes pre-installed and the screws on the mechanism were poorly positioned. We suspect the screws are reason behind the drawers jamming.
