Bench is beautiful, smooth and sturdy. Used a power drill to put together instead of Allen wrench and took 10-15 minutes to assemble. Sat 300# on the center of the bench and it didn't budge or creak. Nice and sturdy. We are placing it outdoors so we will see how it weathers. No cons so far, happy we bought it! And I bought 2! Seats 2 people.

Pros: Absolutely beautiful and very sturdy. Matches our gorgeous bamboo fence.
Cons: Don't have any yet.
