I am very disappointed with our Clearmont 2 Person bench.  We set our bench outside on our patio. That day we had a rainstorm and the varnish bled on the patio. Also there are small splits in the wood on the back of the seat. When reading the assembly instructions again liquid spills should be removed immediately. The description of the bench by Wayfair says waterproof, scratch resistant surface with varnish. Recommend for indoor and outdoor use on patios, gardens etc. It seems we have 2 different descriptions of this bench. The bench is beautiful bu it was bought to be placed outdoors and this is a real issue right now. J Romesburg
