I loved the sun ray pattern that's on the back part of this bench, which is why I purchased it for my
front porch. It was easy to assemble. It's definitely not as solid as I would have expected, The slats
of wood that make the sun rays for the back, are questionable, as far as the strength of the wood
is concerned. I've only that had the bench for a week, so I can only hope that it holds up over time.
