The bench did take longer to be delivered than originally anticipated, but the design and quality were very good. The only thing is (that I wish someone would have told me) that I had a choice of finishes. The bench arrived "natural unfinshed" and I would've preferred it to be stained and sealed. I will now have to do this myself. The best part os the fact that the bence comes completely assembled. I would recommend this bench as a good buy.
