The bench is well made and very sturdy.  Assembly was a breeze.  I was impressed that the bench is all metal and the screw holes lined up perfectly on all four pieces (left arm, right arm, seat and back).   I would give five stars if the back were not so vertical.  It is not uncomfortable for short spells but if you wanted to sit a long time, it would be a little more comfortable if you were not sitting up so straight.  It is very well built though and sturdy.  It supports 400 pounds.  Most of the competition will only support 300 pounds.  It is harder to find two adults to sit on a bench like this that do not exceed the combined 300 pound limit.
