The glue that you included was ROCK hard — that would indicate to me that the bench had been in a warehouse for QUITE A WHILE!! Putting the bench together was agonizing. One end piece was fine — easy and tight fit. The other end was near impossible — it is attached, but with a crack between the back and the arm that will admit water…. We own large clamps and used them, but the result is still very poor.’

Arrived quickly - easy to assemble and of great quality. Would recommend to anyone.

Great bench. Exactly what we wanted for our garden. Assembly wasn’t difficult and it is solid and well designed.

We bought two of these Kennebeck Marlborough garden benches a week apart. The first one was excellent with a little more assembly required. It had all the parts and hardware plus gorilla glue and even a brush to apply glue. The second bench a week later had minimum assembly but fit was terrible. It had no glue and brush yet recommended its use. Upon completion the bench was wobbly no matter what surface we placed it on. There were (and still are) un see unsightly gaps between the joints that nothing short of a heavy duty strap can pull together. Poor workmanship and poor fitting parts. Luckily we had a previously purchased bench a well prior to compare it to. In two words...extremely disappointed! For that price this bench should be much better quality. I'm generous to give it a 3 only because it's very sturdy and looks good. Would not purchase again.

It is so easy to assemble and it fit well together. The bench looks good and I am highly recommended.
