The bench looks great in our yard. It came in a few days and was very easy to put together (4 easy steps if I recall correctly). Looks great in our yard. I would agree with others that it’s more of a decorative piece than a functional bench. My 2 and 4 year like to sit on it but not sure I would want adults on it. Like others I some stain come of the wood onto my hands while putting it together but it was a minimal amount. Would buy again.
