You get what you pay for- the first one arrived with a noticeable crack in the front of the seat and damage underneath the seat.  When I put it together, I found a couple of the holes weren't drilled wide enough, so I had to scrape the insides to widen them slightly.  Was immediately sent a replacement, very good customer service.  However, there are also problems with the replacement: the joints aren't quite right, the top is slightly offset when it is closed, and some seams aren't fully covered by the paint.  In retrospect, a refund and a different purchase would have been better.   Also note that it is a glossy brown, not stained or matte.
