This bench really is exactly what I wanted for my deck. As others have said it's very comfortable and lower to the ground. I can easily touch the ground and push the glider back and forth. The back is comfortable without any pillow. The seat part is wider than usual and leaves enough room for taller people to stretch their legs out. My brother was comfortable and he's tall. The composite wood is easy to clean and withstands the weather very well.  I absolutely love this bench!
