This was easy to assemble. But, one leg was slightly broken when I arrived. I fixed it easily with super glue. You could not even tell there had been a problem. We live in a loft, so my master shower is just an open area in my bedroom. I kept this bench in the shower area, near my tub. After a couple months, this bench completely collapsed. The moisture from the shower area caused the wood to rot. So disappointed. So much for being a spa bench. Keep this in a completely dry area and it should be fine.
