I bought the Acacia Bench for my front porch. The size of the bench was exactly what I needed and the black color matched my other porch furniture. The bench was very easy to put togther. It only took about 30 minutes. Unfortunately, I've only had the bench about 4 weeks and I already see signs that the paint is cracking. I chose to place the bench where it is only partially covered by the porch, so it is exposed to the elements, both rain and sun. I was hoping the paint would hold up better since it has a "UV finish." I guess I will be painting it frequently. Other than the finish not lasting, I love the bench!
