It was very nice when I got it but doesn’t resist very well to rain. After 2 years the paint is coming off and a few wooden slat came off. Maybe under a covered area would be better

This is a nice bench, the charcoal gray color is lovely. I was impressed by how carefully it was packed for shipping. It lost a star because the directions for steps 1 and 2 were missing, as a novice I needed them. Also, there are some inconsistencies in some spots with the staining...a frustration yet not worth the hassle of returning.
