Purchased as gift ..arrived on time but came with NO INSTRUCTIONS made it very difficult to assemble but they did it. Looks nice just hope it holds up.

We love this, if it actually had a way to attach the padding to the bench, it would be 5 stars - the coushins are so light, they easily get blown away - we have had to chase them down a lot. We plan to put something on them to stick to the bench at somepoint. For now, we put them in and bring them in daily.

I saw a lot of bad reviews for this and was thinking it looked decent for the price. If it's problematic or it does not work out, I can always return it. Take your time with assembly if you struggle with the allen wrench. It won't take too long. Do not overtighten any screws and you should have no issues. I'm pleased with how it turned out and the neighbors seem to dig it having received a few compliments on it right after I put it together. There was a bit of a blemish with the banding but it's not that noticeable.

This project went pretty smooth. It didn't come with directions like it should of. They labled all the parts which meant nothing without directions. Over all though I love it. It is sturdy and a perfect size for my porch. So far this product rocks when it comes to structural integrity. I love it and I am usually rough on items because of poor engineering. So far I recommend this product if you can build without instructions.

Looks really good put together. Takes 2 people and a little time. Allen wrench is used for all screws and that's provided, but makes job harder, regular screw heads would of made it go alot faster. Seems sturdy, just got it together, so will have to update after it gets some use come spring. Bought to go on my screened porch to set and have morning coffee. I think it will work just fine for that. I do love the little built in glass top table in between the seats.

This product was un-necessarily difficult to put together because it did not come with instructions. What should have only taken us maybe 30 minutes or so, ended up taking a little over two hours because we had to figure out assembly on our own. Putting it together wasn't particularly difficult though-- no extra tools needed, it was easy to screw in the screws, etc. We still aren't sure if we used the right screws or not throughout the entire piece, but it seems very sturdy and it looks like it was put together properly. Once it has been set up though, it does look perfect on our front porch, and we greatly enjoy being able to sit outside. The little "table" in the middle is a great touch as well! Overall we are very satisfied with our purchase, but the couple hours that it took to figure out how to put it together was very stressful! Seems like an easy fix if they would just include instructions!
