Shine Company Outdoor Wood Backless Patio Garden Bench, 4 Ft, Burnt Brown

The wood quality is good for the price--would not over tighten bolts as it is kiln dried and might easily split where the holes are drilled and counter sunk for the bolt heads. Take care if you use a power drill/driver to assemble. Assembly took me about 25 minutes with the tools pictured. Opened the box carefully with the knife. Used a medium sized Crescent to hold the nut and turned bolt head with Philips head driver. Clear instruction sheet. This is not a really heavy item but bulky and a little awkward to handle. Finished product looks good and had all corners eased with a nice sanded surface all over. I bought the unpainted one and will follow the instructions for painting after it has climatized to our unpredictable Ohio weather for a couple weeks. Nice buy for my patio for some cheap, extra seating.

I love this bench. I had to order two to make the length of my deck rail but they look and blend just find, especially once I find a long pillow for top. The seating portion has a slight dip that makes the bench comfortable. I like that. I am close to 300 lbs and the bench made me feel comfortable and sturdy. Lastly, the assembling was SUPER easy....seriously. It was just put the screws and washers in the hole and tighten. Glad I bought it versus those other more expensive benches here on Amazon.

The assembly was very easy with diagram simple and clear. The bench is very sturdy and attractive.

Comfy to sit on. It is solidly built. Has that pleasant cedar odor to it. It sat outside all winter, no damage. I have it sitting on concrete pavers. It adds that something extra to the entrance. And the cats like it.

Easy to assemble, took me less then 15 minutes tops. The cedar smells really fantastic! And looks very nice in my sauna. I thought it a very good value for the ask price compared to other versions I found on good old Amazon. Could perhaps be a bit stronger in construction as I suspect two large American men will perhaps make it wobbly. For me at 200 lbs its perfectly fine however. I will likely buy another one of these in the smaller size next year.

The wood on these has been stained but the board don't seem like they were sanded before they stained them so they have rough edges. They are VERY dark in color. I bought two and the colors are totally different as well. There are also tiny bumps under the stain, I assume other places where they were not sanded properly. On some of the board the stain ends, where it looks like someone literally did not take the time to go all the way to the end.

Very easy to assemble and a very sturdy bench. We did a waterproof stain and placed the bench on the front porch. It is an ideal height for us because it is below the lower margin of the front window. Overall the bench is a higher quality than I expected. I recommend without reservation

solid and well constructed. fast ship. I would suggest, however, that the instruction sheet be modified. you should note that the 4 legs have to be installed in a certain way - the decorative groove on one side of each leg has to face either the back or the front of the bench - not the side. The legs will not fit if the groove is to the side.

Great.
