I have purchased a lot of assembly-required furniture in the last couple of years, and I have to say...Im shocked. This thing is made mostly of solid wood! And it was packaged with a 3/4 layer of foam all around it, no problems whatsoever! People are knit-picking about a little debris in screw holes?! This is one of the cheapest hall trees available, and I had no issues assembing it alone while watching a couple tv shows. Directions are clear and easy to follow, and unless those who question the stability of this completely botched the assembly, I cant imagine what they are talking about. Easily supports 400 lbs on the bench. As with most things, sometimes you just get a lemon...but based on what I saw, its very unlikely unless they drop the box out of an airplane before it gets to you...
Exceeded Expectations
