I am returning this bench. It was very very yellow on top. It actually
looked like scrap wood you’d find on the side of the road. There were screw holes in the bench that were maybe from previous use of the wood? (No screws actually in the holes)

My fiancé opened this and was shocked it was “something I would pick” - he knows me very well!! 

I think this bench might be a bit much even for those who like the rustic look.
