I love the look of this bench, and it fits perfectly on my porch. The problem is that 2 parts that came pre-assembled have broken and I haven't even had it a week. One side of the back rest fell off in transit, so I had to glue that together for assembly. Yesterday I noticed that one of the cross supports on the leg below the arm rest snapped at the joint, so I have that held together with vices until the glue sets. Have wood glue and vices on hand for this product! I may wind up needing to add a few screws too.
