After spending a lot of time online looking for a garden bench for my wife"s 60th birthday I settled on the Gosnold 2 seater timber bench. On her birthday (19th March) we started to assemble the bench and from the instruction leaflet it appeared to be relatively simple. The bottom passed off without problem, unfortuneately the back panel once in place is fixed using 4 cross dowels and 4 x 105mm bolts. Due to the poor quality of workmanship housing the cross dowels I found it impossible to connect the bolts and as a result the bench is not securely assembled yet. Both my wife and I are extremely disappointed and will be taking this further.
