Not quite upto my expectations
I ordered this bench in 60'' length. Overall solid. I like the deeper and higher seat, makes it better than the bench it is replacing. As the another reviewer mentioned, this gets shipped in two separate shipments. This is not mentioned anywhere or communicated by the seller. The legs arrived first and tracking provided in the order seems to indicate the delivery is complete!! Till you now contact the seller, wish this could have been avoided by simply providing that info on the website.<br /><br />Though packaging seemed well done and looked almost intact on arrival, the bench has 3 small 1'' dents/gauges marring the finish, on 3 different locations. The overall appearance of the bench is not rustic, but mostly like as a regular plank.<br /><br />Another design aspect, can be unacceptable to me(and others) and is NOT evident from the pictures online is that, the bench is made of two pieces of wood seamlessly joined, on the underside held by 3 blocks of wood that are quite large. Since the bench has high enough seat, when seated across the from the bench at a distance, one can easily see these 3 blocks, which ruins the look. I wish they had used metal pieces to support, which would had lower profile, hence invisible.<br /><br />Bench had no predrilled holes to attach the legs!!! Overall not very satisfied
