Disapointed fit and finish
First of all this item is shipped as freight so delivery is not via the UPS guy like most of my Amazon products.
Secondly some of the pieces were labled wrong. The seat had a sticker on it (Back) that was clearly in the front by the illustration--and the only way it would fit together. The major assembly is by Tenon and dowels which is fine but impossible to take apart to replace or re-asseble (see next point).
Finally one of the pre-assembled joints was poor and I had to use glue to keep it together. All-in all I don't recommend this product.
