The appearance was good and it is comfortable to sit upon.
The protective paint covering was extremely thin.
The wood used in it's construction is extremely soft in particular the sections used on the side arm-rests. this was noticeable upon inspecting the pre-drilled holes which were not crisply machined , as would be the case when using a hard material, but were crumbly and crude and it was this sort of material detail that made me consider that this garden seat will not survive many seasons when left outside in the UK climate.
