Garden Bench w/Table

It arrived and was very simple to erect. It is a nice bench to sit on and we like the pull up table top.

The media could not be loaded. I was looking for something to compliment our recent food forest installation in our backyard and we thought what better than a bench to look back over our fruits and vegetables and enjoy a fat one and a cold drink. This bench was way cool with the optional pop up table which is great to set the drinks on. It’s sturdy and fit in with the wife’s requirements for design.

Was pretty easy to put together, sturdy & adds some charm. My only concern was how quickly it turned, when it was supposed to be for outdoor use. It was outside for 2 days before it started showing signs of rust. Not a little either.... A LOT.

Package is heavy, but well packed with Styrofoam and Bubble wrap.Assembly is easy, instructions simple and only 8 bolts to construct.Sturdy Modern Design supports two adults weighing 365 combined (wife & myself).Modular pull-up center table is stable and works as a dining spot for one.Finish / Coating is durable - having slipped my drill against it without damage.Best Assembly:Set out bolts, washers and assign washers to correct bolts ahead of time.Place seat section on floor, with corresponding arm ends at each side.* Much easier to use a DC powered drill with the correct her "allen" bit in the driver.* Set drill to lower torque (5 worked for me).Prop up arm end in position as though bench is lying on it's back side.Insert correct bolts into arm piece - just through the metal bar.Lean bench seat vertical, assuring table will be upward and allign holes with bolts.Push bolts through the holes in the square steel bars at the top first, start the nut and hold with Wrench while screwing the her bolt until it is nearly flush against the surface. ☆ Leave jiggle space for the next bolts to make alignment easier.* Do not over-tighten, as it will cause the metal to bend.Once the bench seat is suspended by one top bolt on each side - now install lower bolts - but do not tighten all the way.Rest the backrest section on floor between the two arm end sections and follow the same procedure.☆ Do not tighten all the way, leave room for final adjustment.Turn bench onto its feet in the intended position of use and adjust the bench seat to exactly where you want it as you finish tightening both sides. [Flush with front bars]Adjust the backrest in the best position which will flush the edges with the arm end sections - and finish tightening.Finally, add the decorative caps to each bolt to hide the nut. Takes about 15 minutes with a drill or a multipurpose screwdriver with a hex bit. Takes about 30 with the 3" hex and disposable wrench included in the hardware package.

It arrived on time and in perfect shape. It was easy to unpack and I put it together all by myself. Didn’t take longer than maybe 45 minutes. Very sturdy works perfectly

After having this bench assembled and on the patio for about 1 month, it's already beginning to rust.I live in Houston TX, and over that last month, we have had rain, pretty much just sprinkles, twice.I couldn't imagine owning this somewhere like Seattle.That being said, I plan to remove the rust that has already developed and repaint it with Rustoleum.Knowing what I know now, I actually would have still purchased it, but would have painted it before putting outside.For the price, it's actually designed and built well, they just cheaped out on the finish.If you don’t mind painting a brand new piece of patio furniture, it's still a good buy.

I love the bench! We bought it to use on our deck while grilling. The table comes up and is a wonderful place to place all of your cooking supplies I literally put the bench together while my husband ran an errand there were eight screws. I did spray it with a clear silicone spray based on several reviews I read as it will be in the elements.

The bench looks nice but it came with a torn box and no screws or tools to put it together. Now we have to go buy those to put it together. Buyer beware!!!!
