Was kind of hoping for this to be a little less yellow, but to be fair, the color was called honey. I like the design, but wish it came in a more subtle finish. All the colors had so much grain showing. Despite that, it looks great next to the fire pit out in the garden. I have a feeling that after aging for a couple seasons outside, I will like this bench much more. It was easy to put together, and feels stable while sitting on it.
