I bought two to create a long continuous bench. They looked great. However, after two weeks of having them my 3 year old daughter ran from one end to the other and broke the boards. The boards are made of cheap material similar to balsa wood without much support. Luckily, my husband is handy and he took apart the frame and reinforced the entire base. I would not have purchased them if I would have known a 35 pound kid could destroy the poorly made construction.
