got his bench last year and its perfect sits outside near some planters and use it all the time. its sturdy, stable and love the color.  Had no idea how handy it can be, sometimes I put it between chairs and use it as a table instead of a bench, has endless opportunities, even the birds love it,  I put out water and they come in for drinks when they are finished all I need to do is hose it off. Wonderful outside addition to the sitting area.
