I was really excited when I took this out of the box because I really liked the way it looked.  The finish of the wood is nice and it appears to be real wood, not cheap fake wood.  We had to attach the legs to the board of the bench.  It was fairly easy to attach, just screw the legs on.  However, one of our screws didn't work and another one broke while we were screwing it on.  So two of our six screws were faulty.  In addition, it appears the legs fit on a little unevenly.  Overall, we're happy with it and I love the look of this bench.
