Looks beautiful but I was a bit surprised when the screws easily dented the metal, I thought it would be more solid. Also came a bit scratched at the top, as noted by other reviewers, but I suspect some black acrylic paint will cover it up. All in all a lovely bench and i would purchase again. However: please please please! change the packing material to something more environmentally friendly. The bench came with an abundance of styrofoam packaging that hurts my soul and is now flying all over my house and porch in little static bits.
