The joints are stapled together and the item arrived heavily damaged. If the item were built better and packaged correctly it likely would have survived the trip.

Delivered already built. Very sturdy - we leverage the bench by our front door. We have a small entry way and this is perfect for quickly putting on shoes before heading out.

PERFECT-sturdy construction-REAL wood! And came assembled. I am so pleased with this purchase-fits nicely in the space I needed it for and is very attractive to look at! THANK YOU WAYFAIR-just what I needed!!!

Looks great in our shower! very spa-like. exactly serves the need I ordered it for!

Very nice bench but it is not made for a larger person. Bought this one for my son, unfortunately, it is too low for his aching knees and too narrow for his rear end. He is going to modify the height and add just a little front to back depth to accommodate him. Bit of work needed in this case but otherwise a nice piece.
