The bench is made quite well and easy to put together with the allen wrench provided; however, if you were counting on "Pure White" it is far from it.  It is more like a yellowish white.  If you hold it against the packing material, which is a true white, the stools absolutely look like a pale yellow.  That is the reason for the one Star.  It would be too costly for me to return three heavy stools and my "helpful" husband had already put them together.  If you need WHITE, do not purchase.
