The wood is nice but the hardware , predrilled holes with threaded inserts are of a very poor quality, the holes are not drilled deep enough to accommodate the inserts and the screws bent, alternate screws were used to complete the assembly which sadly left the original holes exposed

Beautiful solid teak bench. It will last a long time!

The bench took a little effort logistically to assemble (putting the pieces together is a bit unwieldy you’ll need wood glue not included in the package) but now that it’s assembled and looking great in my garden, I’m very happy.

The bench is beautiful, but, we had some difficulty assembling it. It apparently had not been dry fitted and the holes didn't match up correctly causing two of the bolts not to fit in their holes. The bench is sturdy enough that we felt we could rely on the mortise and tenon fitting to bear the weight without one of the bolts. Aside from that issue, it is a beautiful bench.

Just what we were looking for!
