I LOVE this potting bench. I actually spray painted it a sage green ( looks stained) and it looks great in my space. Unfortunately, the cross bar on top came split. Basically, it's useless. Also, many ares of the bench are splitting by the screws. I'm not sure if my husband tightened them too much, or it's just low- quality.  Nonetheless,, it is functional and CUTE. I've already given myself permission to order another one if this one breaks down!
