We purchased the bench to create a park like atmosphere in our condominium Neighborhood. We had purchased one from Amazon prior. We are board members And the 1st was purchased by a different member. We liked the comments from several residents and decided to purchase the 2nd one.

I love this bench! I needed something that wouldn't rust...living next to a salt marsh, and would also be comfortable. This bench is very nice. I put it together myself (I'm 70), with the help of an ottoman for resting parts on to keep them upright. It really was very easy to assemble. I look forward to many years of use. It fits just right in a new small garden I put together where a deck was before...just the right size. Thanks for a well made product.

Great bench for the money. Easy peasy to put together--in minutes--with only a couple of screws, included. Since it is aluminum I'll be leaving outside in the garden all year with no worries of rusting. The bench is black with minty green highlighting that is done more subtle than you'd think. Very sturdy, but sort of short for a bench. 48" would have been better. Still, it's a keeper.

I'd wanted an aluminum bench for my garden that wouldn't rust, rot or need painting and this was the best I found online for under $340. Yes, the green touches are a pretty awful limeade color, but a quick hit with a can of flat black metal outdoor paint took care of that pretty quickly. The bench is still sitting on the cardboard I used to protect the area from the paint and the shipping box was perfect for the job. Luckily, I'd read the review that promised that the pieces would fit if you start by attaching all the hardware very loosely and that was especially true of attaching the back to the bench. With only hand tightening and about an 1/8th inch of the screw showing past the nut I could finally make everything fit perfectly and then went ahead with tightening all the screws. Yes, this was a bit of a bother, but it sure beat paying closer to $350 for what I wanted and I find the design very attractive. And, no it won't hold four adults, but two would be very comfortable while leaving room for a cat or dog. Like some others the number of parts wan't accurate but I was lucky to have extra pieces. In spite of the challenging assembly I left five stars because it's such great value and very attractive.

Comfortable & sturdy weather resistant bench. Assembly is simple - just 4 pieces - but it's best to have 1 person to hold the pieces in place while the 2nd person puts in the bolts & washers. We ran into a minor issue with a 1/4" bump of extra metal on the back corner of the seat that prevented it from fitting into the arm section. Luckily the cast aluminum was easy to smooth-down with a rough metal file and everything fit smoothly. For the price and quality, this minor glitch is totally acceptable. It's definitely sturdy. It has already passed the "curious cow" test. We have the bench outdoors on a hilltop that's currently being grazed by a bunch of cattle. So of course they had to check out the bench... knocked it over... no damage done.
