Don't waste your money. The styling is nice, but the product has not held up. I have had it for just over a year now. It came with a dark area on the lower part of the bench back, which really stands out (not in a good way) against the lighter wood. But I kept it anyway, intending to cover with a cushion or pillow. This past week is the first time the bench has been exposed to water. We had a sudden rainstorm and I didn't move it to the covered patio where I usually move it when it rains or if the sprinklers will be going off. So it got rained on one day, and hit by sprinklers twice before I moved it. The results were not good. The wood splintered in one place on the seat back, and cracked in two others. See photos. The description of the bench includes this sentence: "Weather-resistant materials help the bench withstand exposure to the outdoor elements." I cannot say this bench can withstand exposure to the outdoor elements. If you use it in a sheltered area it would probably be fine. But if you need a bench that will be exposed "to the outdoor elements" I would not recommend this one. The rating of 2 stars is simply for the design.

Solid, comfortable, and attractive. The instructions were abysmal, which made putting it together more difficult than it needed to be, so -1 star.

Very easy to assemble, more comfortable than your usual wooden benches! The wood is soft and looks very nice! Highly recommend.

Great quality easy to assemble

Nice looking and comfortable bench for any garden or yard. Easy to put together. Be aware, the wood creaks a bit when first sitting on it.
