Bought this as a gift for my parents for Christmas. Weight capacity 485lbs? Not even close to accurate. This bench was built last week, and that same day my 120lb mother sat on it and it broke. Heavy duty cast iron? Not even close. Cross weave back is plastic. Hardwood seat - hardwood is not made of particle board last time I checked. It is the farthest thing from “heavy-duty” as stated in the description. The features under description for this product are 99% false!

My boyfriend tried to talk me into purchasing a real wood and cast iron bench second-hand for $50 and refinishing ourselves. So after I wasted $214 on this, that’s exactly what we will have to do now.
