I just assembled this last weekend, and it was a bit complicated to put together. You have to be careful to follow the directions closely. It is fairly sturdy--I wouldn't plan to put a lot of weight on it, but its more sturdy than I expected for the price! The drawer is a nice feature and lower half shelf is adjustable a bit up or down. The sink/pan is really shallow, so don't plan to keep a lot of dirt in it. But the bench looks great! I plan to use it as a bar for drinks at an outdoor party at my house before moving it to the garden, and it works great for that!.
