Love the bench!! Looks beautiful in our space. The only issue was putting it together, everything went smoothly for the most part until we got to part where you put on the seats, holes were not lined up and there were not enough holes predrilled for screws. We spent a lot of time trying to get the hinges in the correct place for the seats to line up as best we could.  Same thing for the hinges that keep the seats held open and allow for a slow close.  A little more attention could be made in production to allow for the assembly at home.
