The holes were drilled on the wrong side of one of the ends so it couldn't be assembled. It's such that you can't just drill holes either - the holes would go through the piece entirely and have nothing to bolt to. We tried for 7 requests, 3 deliveries and 6 months to get pieces that actually fit. The last delivery was an entirely new bench which had the same problem too. It looks like it would be a nice enough bench if you get one that's manufactured correctly, but we finally gave up and will buy a bench locally come springtime.
I ordered this bench based on positive reviews but was very disappointed. The first bench I received had defective pieces in the box. Overstock sent me a second bench and it was in worse shape than the first. Be forewarned that this is not the bench it appears to be in the picture. Quality control on this item is poor.
This bench was delivered as promised and was not that difficult to put together. It looks great on my porch and is built strong. I would get another if I had a place to put it.
we love this bench. It is sitting in the middle of a tree orchard of 80 english hawthorn tree's for the purpose to relax and have quite time when needed.
The holes predrilled for assemble were not all the way through on some. There was minor damage in transport.

I returned this bench after discovering that all of the holes drilled for the screws were too large. If they had been the proper size I would have been very happy with the bench, but there was no good way to put it together.

Worst purchase - shoddy construction - precut holes aren't cut all the way thru - some holes aren't cut at all - some holes don't line up at all - have been happy with all previous purchases but would never buy this product again.

I received this bench in record time (3 days)and was anxious to get it put together and on my porch.It was an easy install but once it was up I realized that the finish was not at all as shown in the picture on the Internet.It has a yellowish tone, very irregular color..and a very rough finish...I will need to sand this whole bench down and put a few coats of oil or varnish on it.Just some extra work that I was not planning...and because of this I feel the price was too high.
The bench was very easy to put together, luckily, because it came with absolutely no paperwork or instructions. I would have liked some information about the quality and care of the bench wood (oil if it'll be getting wet or be in the sun?, etc.) Also, got the whole thing put together, but wasn't able to get some of the seat bottom screws in, particularly because they all have only allen wrench screws and I couldn't get any torgue on them. The bench looks very nice.
This bench is on our front porch, so subjected to high humidity & temperature changes. We've owned it for several years now & it looks as good today as it did when we purchased it. Highly recommend!

It took me good one hour to put together by myself because it is tricky to hit the two screws together in the middle of the wood. It is sturdy, means heavy.

The bench looks as depicted. The wood is okay and the bench seems sturdy. All the required pieces were provided. Nothing was broken. The biggest issue I had was that one of the dowels holding the back to the side did not match the hole it was supposed to fit into, required a drill to increase the size and location of the hole. I also needed to create or finish incomplete holes to insert screws holding the seat and sides together.

This bench has been outdoors on an open deck in the Catskills for about three years now, and has turned a nice silvery grey. It has not warped at all...! Excellent bench...

The bench is just what I expected from the photo and discription. My husband put it together and didn't think it was the best of quality. For the price, I am happy.

Pleased with the quality and use of this product. Not too difficult to assemble, and it looks nice on the front porch.

I looked all over the internet for a good bench that was inexpensive. This is what I settled upon. The color is a nice warm cherry brown color. The finish is very rough; almost raw so I would recommend using some oil on it for protection. I intend to varnish mine next year. It assembled rather simply. I've kept it on my outdoor porch which is covered above and can find no damage from the weather. It has been there all summer. I am pleased with both the quality and price.

I love the look of the bench and would have loved to sit on it but all of the predrilled holes were too large for the bolts to grab and hold. Sad-I will return tomorrow. I will continue to order from O.co as I have much more good luck than bad. Great Customer Service. I will reorder something else to replace this bench.
Had this for a few years! Great product! LOVE O.CO!
this was a great addition near my front door, it was exactly what i was looking for, it needed assembly but was super simple. highly recommend.
