I have some other items in a wood tone like this bench, so I thought I would try it out as an option for extra guest seating, but also plant and potting needs.  The bench itself is beautiful.  I got the dark brown color which matched my current furniture just fine.  The chevron design was super stylish and also given the challenge of the pattern, surprisingly flush.  The assembly was super fast and easy (just three screws per side).  On one bench there was one hole that wasn't drilled quite clean, but easy enough to work with.

I'm not sure how the bench will hold up in the hot Denver sun, but I oiled it before use to give it a fighting chance.  I can't tell from the listing what kind of wood it is. 
 Note: if you have an uneven patio like I do, the bottom of the legs would accommodate adding levelers if desired.
