I purchased this Shaker Bench unfinished as I wanted to paint this bench dark gray with a crackle finish to go on my front porch of my log home.  The bench is very well made and the painting turned out well.  The legs are easy to screw in and they give you a special wrench to tighten them.  I like the height of the bench.  I am slightly disabled with my legs and the extra inch makes it easy to rise.
