This is a nice little garden bench. It is pretty sturdy and was easy to put together, although I couldn't quite figure out which direction the seat was supposed to face. One of the bars was reinforced but had a blunt square edge that seemed less comfortable but probably was meant to face out. I picked to put it on the other way, but if you are worried about weight over comfort I would put that side out. The metal seat is obviously not going to be the most comfortable thing in the world without a cushion, but it is perfectly fine for sitting for a while and watching the kids or enjoying the garden. The decorative tiles are actually ceramic and seem to be securely glued into the circular openings,. Long term, this is still a powder-coated steel bench sitting outside, so I expect it will eventually rust and the bolts will probably loosen. That said, I expect it to look good for at least several years with normal outdoor use. Overall, this is a nice outdoor bench that you can put in the garden and mostly forget about. It is sturdy enough to be useful, decorative enough to add something to the space, and looks like it belongs surrounded by flowers. Put it out in the garden where it wants to be.

I was pleasantly surprised by this bench! It’s very sturdy and holds up really well. I only deducted one star because there were no assembly instructions but it was easy enough to figure out and I had it assembled in 20 minutes!

This is a really cute bench. It does make your butt sore if you sit on it for a long time so I would get some cushions. There were not any directions in the box but setup for one person was under 20 min. Feels very sturdy when sitting on it.
