Like the looks of bench, but a little disappointed that the slates are not 3/4" thick. Lot lighter that I thought it was. We t together fine but right hand side of the seat main board was split, had to glue, hope it will hold. It also sits a little low, going to add a 2x4 to the bottom of legs to raise it up farther. Also when getting out of bench it tries to come forward on you so I'm going to bring the 2x4 forward a little bit so it won't dump you out
