The potting bench arrived ahead of schedule. It was well packed in two boxes and took about 15 minutes to assemble. I put two coats of clearcoat Woodsweather finish on it. This summer I'm going to use it as a patio bar. By removing the two inserts on top the heavy duty grey tub can be filled with ice and  used for chilling beverages. Stemware and mixers can go on the top shelf. This fall I'll use it as a potting bench. As an added bonus the lid is included for the grey tub. So when I dig up my elephant ears I can put them in peat moss in the tub and bring the tub in for the winter. It's a sturdy bench and I think it will wear well.

Cons: I wish it was on casters to make it easy to roll out to sweep up the inevitable leaves that will accumulate around it.
