Coaster 501196 Bench

We purchased this item as a christmas gift for our 26 yr old daughter. Upon opening the box we found that the painted and seam to the base was cracking apart. Given the time available to replace the product we opted to glue what we could ourselves. When finished we could still see a hairline crack but at least it was in the back of the piece. Other than that it was a beautiful piece. It was not difficult to put together but did take slightly over an hour. I must say I was impressed with how sturdy it was given the price and that we assembled it ourselves. I personally liked the storage options and the look. I would purchase again. Only draw back was the splitting on the base but it could have happened during shipping.
