Looks amazing in garden! Relatively straight forward to put together. The instructions were just pictures so I had to guess how the last two pieces fitted in because the picture was so dark I could not see clearly how to assemble. See attached picture. The design of the wood gives the bench a distressed look with splits/breaks in the wood. When sitting on the bench it makes creaking sounds and wobbles giving you the impression it is going to break with you sitting on it. But so far no problems!!
