This bench is absolutely beautiful! In the closeup, you can really see the bronze coloring in what I thought was going to be a brown bench with a lovely garden design. I’m by no means a “handy-lady,” but I was able to put this together all by myself with no problems at all with the hardware and wrench provided. I did add cushions to make the seat a little more comfortable in the hot sun, but the bench is curved in the front and it’s comfy enough without the cushions in the evening when it’s a bit cooler out. I absolutely love it!
