Great made in USA quality and great value. Put it together and, living in a colder state, applied a clear stain (other wood protectors will peal over time in cold areas). The clear brought out the natural beauty of the wood even more! The bench came pre-assembled and is beautifully done. Expect this to last a very long time. It replaces a 2-seat swing and the extra room this 3-seat one provides is nice to have. Highly recommend.
