Super easy to put together and only a three steps to the instructions. There are slight imperfections in the wood graining (I originally thought it was actual wood but it’s metal with a wood grain screened onto it). It is comfortable and seems like it will hold up really well! It does get hot when it’s been sitting in the sun for too long but that’s to be expected out of a metal bench.

This outdoor bench is very quick and easy to assemble, takes less than 15 minutes. The back of the bench comes per-assembled so it is only 16 screws to install (follow instructions and don't fully tighten until all slates installed). The bench is very sturdy and looks great on the front porch.

Exactly as pictured. No rust so far. Impressive piece, sturdy. Centerpiece of the backyard.

Great bench
