Beautiful benches, the perfect size for the odd front porch of our new home.  I’m very very happy with them.  The finish is stunning (and I have done a fair amount of woodworking DIY in my life) and I would definitely buy them again.  I assembled them myself (Mid-forties-mom) in front of my mother-in-law and she couldn’t believe they went outside.  She wanted to keep them inside the house as beautiful “furniture”.
