Manufacturing defects; but you may be more lucky
 from Long Beach, CA,  Jan 29, 2008

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.

struck out twice
 from Texas,  Sep 14, 2007

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.

I love this bench
 Nov 18, 2007

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.

Acacia Wood Bench
 from Houston,  Sep 29, 2011

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.

  • How did the color on site compare with the actual product? The color was the same.

poor finish
 from Virginia,  Nov 12, 2008

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.

No paperwork!
 from Clovis, CA,  Jul 8, 2007

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.

High quality!
 from SE TX,  May 15, 2012

Need some time to put them together by myself
 from White Plains, NY,  May 10, 2012

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.

  • How did the color on site compare with the actual product? It was more brown than it looked on my screen.

Need a drill to make this work
 from Massachusetts,  May 8, 2012

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.

  • How did the color on site compare with the actual product? Accurate
  • Please tell us about the quality of the product. The bench, once I got it together, seems fairly sturdy.

Nice and simple
 from Frankfort, KY,  Oct 1, 2011

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.

  • How did the color on site compare with the actual product? A little lighter than the photo

Drilled holes too large
 from Manhattan, KS,  Sep 5, 2011

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.
