For $200, this bench is very cheaply made.  Very hard as a seat, squeaks AND had one broken hinge mechanism on the inside.  It is a "Flip Top" bench, so the whole point of that is having two working hinges so you can open and close it properly.   Wayfair's "Executive Resolution Team" has yet to even reach out to me since I received it and called / reported the broken part.  Just getting the run-around.  Don't bother buying this bench, it's not worth the money.
