I give this bench more than 5 stars if I could. Love it! So sturdy and attractive. Easy to assemble. I have been bragging on FB already about the fact it is made in the USA and of recycled plastic. The only thing I would say a negative about is that it took forever to get it. Ordered on 8/27 and it arrived on 10/12. We will be putting it in winter storage very soon here in MN.
