This bench is very sturdy and strong. Looks really good when finished. Two very kind neighbours , men, young men, actually put it together for me, which I am so grateful for. I really think it needed a man’s strength, ably assisted by woman’s intuition!! Very pleased with product. However, the delivery was terrible. I had no communication from them at all although stated I would do.  I followed it on tracking, supposed to come within 2 hours on a Tuesday afternoon.  Nothing. Then tracking was down for Thursday within 2 hours.  Er...nothing!  Came Thursday evening when I had gone out between 7 and 9. Neighbour very kindly took it in, but as he works I couldn’t get to see him till Sunday. Not happy with delivery at all, and they put down they’d turned up within their delivery window.
