hands down, the WORST piece of furniture I have ever purchased. I read other reviews before buying it that said the instructions have you assemble things backwards and that predrilled holes were in the wrong place. I figured people were just being petty and didnt know how to use common sense. The other reviews were right. This bench is garbage .  None of the pieces match up correctly. All of the pre drilled holes are in the wrong place.  Absolutely regret spending two hours attempting to assemble this .
