THE PROBLEM I HAVE WITH  ORDERING ON LINE IS THAT ONE CANNOT  SEE THE ACTUAL PRODUCT PRIOR TO PURCHASING.  
I FOUND THIS BENCH TO BE SMALLER THAN EXPECTED WITH VERY LITTLE REAL STORAGE SPACE.  ALSO, THE FINISH ON THE WOOD IS MINIMAL AND I HAVE HAD TO VARNISH THE BENCH AGAIN MYSELF TO HAVE ANY OUTDOOR VIABILITY.

I SHOULD HAVE EXPECTED THIS MUCH AS THE PRICE WAS VERY APPEALING...
THE ADAGE 'YOU GET WHAT YOU PAY FOR' SEEMS APPROPRIATE HERE.
IT'S NOT A BAD PRODUCT...I JUST HAD HIGHER EXPECTATIONS...THAT IS 'ON ME'.
