Very poor quality. Holes where you don’t need them and no holes where you do. And the wood is one step up from cardboard. Cute, but I doubt if it lasts a year. The first big person that drops down on it may end up on the ground!
Made out of very soft wood that dented and scratched easily while putting it together. The holes for the back didn't line up so the back is straight instead of reclined like the photo and video. Forcing the wood to recline slightly seems a like a bad idea because it creaks like the wood will snap.
The item arrived quickly. When I opened it to put it together, I was a bit disappointed in the quality and condition of the items in the box. Some of the wood was damaged. Assembly was easy, but the support braces on the bottom do not fit as needed. It will be used for decor only as it would not support much weight.
I can only assume the high reviews were from people provided this item for high reviews. The wood is extremely soft and cheap. The "directions" are useless as they're grainy black and white images that don't show what's necessary to do clearly at all. One of the bolt holes wasn't fully punched out upon arrival. One of the support bars gad a cracked hole upon arrival -- too bad I had already had much of the bench assembled before noticing otherwise I'd have returned. Absolutely not even worth $25, let alone $100+.
