This is a pretty nice bench. Looks good feels sturdy. All the parts plus one extra of each in most cases. The problem was the only instructions included were drawings but written instructions. That might be okay for someone who works with this type of thing on a regular basis, but Im a senior female who only assembles furniture very occasionally. I ran into a problem with the cam bolts not realizing if you screw them in too far the lock will be unable to catch the top of the bolt, and also had a couple of the little wooden dowels pop all the way through the finished underside (even though I made sure to push them 1/2 way in to the holes) so that REALLY ticked me off. Thankfully no one will see that side of the bench but I will always know the holes are there. It would have been really nice if they would have explained things like push the dowels more than 1/2 way in so they dont pop the wood veneer off !
Needs some WRITTEN instructions
