I'm giving it a four and half rating. The bench itself is perfect for our use and I would give it a 5 except for an assembly issue. It is easy to assemble except for the bolts for the cross support beams. The guide holes should be drilled further into the bench legs or some other way to make this part of the assembly easier and still have the integrity of the supports. I (woman) could not screw the bolts in by hand and neither could a young man. However, he had a power driver and so was able to drive the bolts securely into place.
