The wood (pine) started splitting and falling apart after the first rain. This bench is a very poor quality. Pain is not made for outdoor use. Wayfair was wonderful though  to speak with the manufacturer on my behalf and arrange for a returnrefund. Wayfair is the reason I am giving it 2 stars. Otherwise it would have been a 1-star review .
Upon receipt of the refund I invested in a more expensive bench made out of cider, and the new bench is awesome of which I will write a separate review.
