It looks nice. What would really help is if the person who wrote the assembly instructions had actually put one of these together. I’ve put a few pieces of furniture together, but this little bench was the hardest piece I’ve ever done and it didn’t need to be. The bottom piece is still just sitting in there because I am not going to hand screw self tamping screws into a flimsy piece of wood, neither my wrist or the bench need that kind of pain. However it looks nice and holds my pillows so it gets some stars.
