Purchased this after reading a number of reviews about the difficulty assembling it. Sure enough, assembly was a frustrating experience. The supplied dowels were 3/8 in diameter while the pre-drilled holes were 5/8 in diameter.
Assembly is difficult and it definitely requires two people to assemble, but the finished product looks nice.
For the price point of $135 it is worth it even with the assembly frustration.
When I later told my employee that the bench is supposed to support up to 400lbs, he laughed sarcastically. He said it didnt feel that sturdy and he would guess 200lb capacity max.
We will see...
Value for the money as long as you are handy
