I was skeptical purchasing a potting bench from anywhere. I kept reading reviews of incomplete kits, or kits with broken pieces, or weak poor design / structure. 
I have to say this was extremely easy to put together. I put it together all by myself and it only took me an hour max.  I love it, it’s exactly the size I needed. I have it on my front porch so it’s mostly protected from the elements and I don’t think I need to put any sort of stain or protectant on it.
