The bench is a wonderful addition to our garden. It looks great.  Assembly  was not as easy as it should have been.  We needed to replace some screws with longer ones and the hardware supplied required some trial and error before all could be tightened as required.  The bench brace was cracked upon delivery but easily epoxied to correct the problem. However, the final product was all we had hoped for and is as portrayed in the website photo. I would recommend this bench as a perfect addition to any garden.
