This bench took my husband over 12 hours to put together, and it is still not right. We took it apart 3 times and finally realized that it is not even square! So the lid ends up having a gap on one side in the front and no gap on the other side. It pretty much rubs the side when you close the lid. If it wasn’t for that I would be giving this purchase 5 stars because the bench is good quality for the price.
