It was a perfect fit! Tools are provided to put it together but having a drill and clamp wrench made assembly so much easier!

I bought this bench for extra seating on my deck, while storing the wood pellets for my smoker safe, dry and out of sight. This is a nice, solid, sturdy bench. Assembly was easy (one person, no drama) except for attaching the hinges to the seat/storage lid - I needed help for that. It is heavy and I am very comfortable seating two adults on it. The wood is nicely finished and very attractive. Totally happy with my purchase!

The bench is a beautiful piece; however, it stated that it was waterproof and the first rain storm the storage bag was wet inside and out even though it was velcroed to the sides and zipped. So it is NOT waterproof! Therefore it doesn't serve the purpose it was purchased for and the cushions ended up wet.
