This bench is new material made from pine and built in Brazil.  The grey color fits perfectly with our house on the porch.  It provides a storage space for our shoes and a place for people to sit and remove their shoes.  The glue that comes with this unit is watery junk.  I used a construction adhesive to glue the dowel pins supplied with the bench.  The holes are drilled too large and they slop around. Construction adhesive held them in place.  The only part "reclaimed" with this bench is the look.  These are a bunch of pine boards glued together and planned roughly to look "reclaimed". If you are OK with the reclaimed myth, the bench is functional and looks good.
