Overall it’s pretty pleasing. Has a very very strong smell if you choose to assemble it indoors - at first it read “pine-y” to me but started to smell more like formaldehyde. That said, the assembly is easy and the bench feels sufficiently sturdy. I’d recommend it being under cover as the wood is quite rough but for the price it’s a nice piece!took all of five minutes.

Absolutely love this bench. It’s just the right size for my plants area 54”x12”. The box part is a very thoughtful and useful option- it holds taller plants from tipping over when it’s windy. The golden color really makes plants pop. I’m very impressed with the quality, it’s is very sturdy while also is a light weight.

I really love how this entryway turned out! The decor makes the space feel warm, welcoming, and elegant without making it look crowded. The flowers, cushions, plants, and lighting complement the existing bench and overall house exterior beautifully. It feels cozy and inviting while still keeping a clean, simple look

With the provided hardware, I assembled it by myself in 30 minutes. A rubber mallet and a bit driver would have cut that time in half because the tabs on the planter are a very tight fit and I'm not sure I got the screws into the bench far enough by hand - in the photo mine are on the left compared to the factory installed on the right. Not sure there's room to use a bit driver, as shown, but I'm gonna try to get them in further. Also pictured are a spot of glue on one panel and some possible mildew that both came off easily using disinfecting wipes without effecting the finish and mildew hasn't returned in the week since I built it. Also worth noting is that there are no bolts holding the bench to the planter. I'll be adding some but it does seem sturdy enough as is and offers the option to do a custom configuration if you buy more than one. Overall though, it's exactly as described and I love it!

Love this item!
