The bench is ideal so long as the shipper doesn't crush it.
We are one for two on operational benches. One is beautiful and operational, the other is 50 lbs of slivers drizzled with cardboard and styrofoam. The 39.9 lbs of rails are enroute back to TT. My hope is that the replacement bench arrives safe and under a month from now which would be quicker than my initial order of 1 table, 2 benches and a coffee table.
