I bought two benches. Concern number one, the fumes emanating from the benches as they were put together was horrendous. In fact my husband got sick. One bench had a large gauge in the back slats. That my husband had to glue back together. It was just too much trouble to send back. Then once outside to dilute the odor,we need to wait before we can paint them. I was horrified  to see my standard cushions 21  inches deep were not going to fit on the bench that is just 17 in. deep. Which means I have to buy two more cushions which could run me another $100 or more .
