I have had this probably more than 10 days now and putting it together.   I took the time and applied sealer before I put together, as I want to maintain the current teak brown and not allow it to grey and weather.   The finish is very rich and lovely.    All of the pieces are quite well made (I’m a woodworker myself) and the instructions are great, as well as the hardware.   They even gave you extra pieces of hardware.  The bench has a much more expensive look than you might think for the price and it will look fabulous in the Japanese garden I am constructing in the back yard.
