It is a beautiful bench just as described but there was clearly an issue with the bolts lining up on the bench we received. My hubby who assembles all our furniture had to go in reverse order of instructions to make it work. We lined up the green dots but that did not help. I wanted to just return it and start with a new bench especially for the price we paid, but he was all in on getting it assembled and he finally did. It does look very nice in our remodled shower just hopes it remains sturdy.
