This bench came in perfect condition, was relatively easy to assemble, and is sturdy once assembled. As far as the assembly goes, everything was drilled accurately and fit together perfectly. There were no defects in any of the pieces and the instructions were relatively easy to follow. Once assembled this was very sturdy. At first it was a little wobbly but once it was sat on a few times the wobble went away and the pieces settled. I have been using this for a few days now and have not noticed

Instructions were terrible. The booklet had the pieces marked A, B, C etc. But no stickers on product. Since I am assembling person it took a few moments to get it. I don't think others would find it so easy. I'm awaiting for the 6 drawer dresser, luck be with me.
