Id buy this again. As good as assemble yourself furniture gets. Real wood with a nice finish. Looks really good sitting in the corner by the door. My wife is happy.
Sturdiness: The sticker on the back shows a weight limit of 200lbs. Its as sturdy as any assemble yourself bench.
Easy to assemble. My unit did have pre-installed dowels on the top that did not slide easily by hand into the holes on one of the sides. A light tap with a rubber mallet against a piece of scrap wood to spread the force of the blow and they slid in place. It took 15 minutes to put it together.
The baskets are ok. They are wicker baskets - what do you expect from wicker basement?
All in all this is a good value for the money.
Very Good Bench For the Money
