This bench, made from Eucalyptus wood, looks like the picture. Was easy to assemble, and seems sturdy, but not absolutely top of the line, hence four stars rather than five. To prevent it from graying and cracking in the elements, you have to oil it a few times yearly with linseed oil, which is flammable. I'm hoping that this "Downend" brand isn't using trees being clearcut in the Amazon rain forest. An accompanying brochure insists the wood is environmentally harvested and fair trade. Just hope we can believe them.Pros: Classic design, solid wood.Cons: Not terribly comfortable to sit in for long periods; requires weatherproofing.
