I used a couple of corner braces/brackets to reinforce the bench. Purchased for my daughter on 6/12/2017 as of today they are trash! There are no half sizes available in this model so after listening to reviewers I purchased a size 10M. They leave blisters on my toes if I have to do much walking around the office. Duradorable <- its that. I?ve been an audio engineer for decades and own my own studio so I understand audio and the limitations of small speakers. As the nuts and bolts are tightened, they should be done a little at a time and make sure they are all the same tightness. Me llego un libro! Nice Product Would definately recommend and re-order when needed.
