Overall, I’m very satisfied with my purchase. The benches arrived when scheduled and with no damage seen or found. The wood seems durable for the summer heat and the snow in the Northeast. The color of the benches is quite attractive. The assembly instructions were clear and assembly was straightforward. I do have two concerns. One is that the bolts used to hold the bench together are too big and too difficult to screw in. I tried to use a drill/driver but the metal was too soft and I rounded out the head. I was able to remove the bolt with pliers.The bolts were too big resulting in them erupting through the wood on the backrest. I was able remove them and to mount the backrest using two smaller screws for each side of the backrest.
