I got all the necessary pieces to put this bench togetherhowever, I couldnt get the last screw in on the bottom shelf! The holes just wouldnt line up properly so I left it off. It is sturdy enough without it unless one of my grands tries to step on that bottom shelf, which I dont think will happen. Maybe some day, when I have nothing better to do, Ill unscrew things and try again to line them upbut not any time soon. Im using it for a small coffee table in a small room and its just the right size. I like the solid wood. Its a nice piece.
Minus one screw
