This bench is beautiful and sturdy. Once its put together, its worth the money. And theres the problem - putting it together. Ive spent a lot of time putting together furniture, but this one is one of the worst. It appears very easy, but the directions are wrong. Ignore the arrows - on my directions, both arrows were wrong. Make sure of two things: the two middle walls go to the outside of the brace, but the screw goes through the brace into the wall. Its an easy fix if you do it wrong, but fixing it later takes a lot of time. The baskets, on the other hand, were very difficult. The screws are slightly too big. They can be forced in, but it could take hours. After trying for almost two hours, Im going to go to a hardware store and find some that fit.
Screws dont fit the basket
