I struggled on how many stars to give this bench. It looks the same in person as the photos. Nice size & color. Putting it together was a huge pain. I am a skilled, handy person and can build and fix most things. The directions aren’t very helpful and far as which side is front/back, etc. Your pretty much on your own. Installing the hinges on the bench seat was difficult as the predrilled holes  wouldn’t line up. Lots of screwing and unscrewing with a tiny Allen wrench. Now that it’s done it’s look nice though.
