The product was exactly as pictured, which means that it was just what I wanted. It was easy to assemble, went together in just a few minutes, all parts and tools included. I would definitely order again should I need anything else.

This bench looks great and was easy to assemble. I felt the need to drill 2 small holes in the bottom section of each side piece to receive the screws that secure the crosspiece. I guess I could have screwed them in without the wood splitting, but why take chances? The bench does creak when I sit on it, so I contacted Customer Service about the weight rating for the bench. They said 450 lb. Even so, I think I'd be nervous having more than one person sit on the bench at a time.
