Good Value

Assembly was very easy and I had it done in about 45 minutes by myself. I have no doubt it'll be just as beautiful as the day I first put it together. It's a "true" three-seater bench -- even if the three "seats" are big ones, however, I'd be hesitant to put three really large people on it as there is no center support brace on the bottom (I'd put the lightest person in the middle).

Both came separately, which was weird and packaging was not great considering it was furniture. I had it shipped next day for $3.99 to avoid damages that may occur with longer time on UPS truck. The bench is comfortable without a cushion, though you certainly could add one if you wanted. Placed in the front of my house neighbors have complimented that is attractive.

First of all, it was not packaged very well. Pay a little more for something nicer.

I also went through three coffee tables with cracks and one two seat bench that has the cushions received with cracks that we ordered for our back porch. I am so, so, so happy I bought this! I think it could look bad way too quick if you don't. Go ahead compare prices for a similar product, almost sure you won't find any better than this. The bench DID arrive with damage that rendered the bench unstable, but Amazon's return policy is so consumer-friendly that the biggest headache was getting the package back to the UPS store.

When it arrived the packing wasn't in the best shape, but it didn't matter, as the bench is very sturdy, and I think it would take more than the UPS man (or whoever delivered) to damage it. It is made of extremely good wood and I am sure it will withstand both climate and time. Very good value. There were simple 4 pieces, that were easy to assembly. To find it search on Amazon price history alert and pick the one with camel in the name. Unlike another reviewer who complained about not receiving extra screws, we did receive extra screws.

Recommend rubbing some wood oil on the bench, now and then, to protect the wood/finish.

The bench looks sturdy despite being long. The accompanying literature however did not tell how to maintain the finish when leaving outdoors. I would have liked to know information on the care of this item.

It is great looking and was very easy to assemble. It was fairly easy to put together and looks beautiful in my garden. Assembly was simple for the two of us: 15 minutes and no tools required.
