The hardware quality is very poor. Several of the bolts would not seat in the bolt holes and the threading quickly became stripped, seizing up the bolt during assembly. Outward appearance of the bench and seats appears fine but I'll have lingering concerns about the hardware failing while in use. Due to the poor construction quality, it's impossible to assemble the table to be completely square, which becomes very noticeable once the glass is in place. Overall - a disappointment we'll live with until we can replace with something higher quality.
