This is a very pretty bench. The light green color is very soft and looks so lovely blending nicely in my garden. I got an artic blue bench cushion made for it and 2 Sunbrella pillows and it super comfortable. It’s a comfortable bench on its own but for skinny people like me, cushions are better. It’s very sturdy. I have no worries that’s it’s going to last for many years even through our New England winters.
