After reading reviews, I decided to go ahead and purchase this bench. The price was extremely attractive and I figured, if I didnt like, I could always return it (love .com).
It arrived and was relatively simple to put together. I didnt have any pieces missing. The only thing I had was a little scratch on the top part of the bench - a little discolored, but you know what? Im not complaining - its cheap and free shipping. Ill deal with a little scratch. After all, Im sure I will be making my own on there in due course.
As another reviewer mentioned, there was a loud CRACK the first time you sit on it, but after that, its great. Im about 215lbs and sit on it every morning to put my shoes on and afternoon to take them off.
I give it 4/5 because of the scratch (even though I am not bothered by it, it shouldnt be there) and also because it does feel a little cheap. Not saying it isnt handling me, but if I had a couple teenagers, I may be a little concerned with them plopping down on top of it with all their might. For us, it serves the purpose we need.
Bang for Buck
