Royal Tahiti Yellow Balau Wood Oslo Contemporary Bench

This is a well-made bench. It's easy to assemble (I assembled it all by myself - 5' 3'' female). I only gave it 4 stars because the ends of the handles are a bit rough, but with a little bit of sanding, it's all better. Definitely worth the money.

Excellent service on these benches. they arrived in mere days. The only problem is that balau wood, while presumably as weather-resistant as teak, really isn't as pretty. Perhaps, over time, these benches will age nicely, but currently they look a bit raw and plasticky. Also, perhaps, this review is premature. The workmanship seems fine, even if they are a bit on the light side (weight). Time will tell.

First, it was delivered in about three days---faster than most online stores except when one pays for 2-3 day express.. The bench seems well made, solid and very easy to assemble. It had very slight minor damage on the end of one arm and back and one of the wooden pins used to insert one of the arms into the back was partly crushed but did not hinder the assembly. Because of these minimal flaws, I think the the price is correct, but I would not want to pay the usual list price for it.

This bench arrived quickly, was easy to put together and looks (and feels) wonderful. It is very modern looking and the color is very pretty. We are very happy with it.
