I expected this to be a little higher quality. The top of the bench came all scratched up, the veneer is cracked for the back part, the screw holes either weren't drilled or didn't line up, one of the bars had to be removed for the rest to fit together ands now there's a gap in the back. I'm no novice to assembling furniture and this was a nightmare. I would expect this to cost at least $100 less. Pros: it's real glass and it's heavy and feels fairly sturdy once assembled.
