I purchased this bench with matching chairs and a table in 2009. This bench was easy to assemble, had all the hardware present and is very sturdy. It can seat 3 adults and is comfortable if you use a lower lumbar pillow to support your back as the wooden back is straight and not slanted. It is sturdy and easy for the eldery to use as well. This bench has been used on so many occasions with great success. We have used it on the deck, in the yard, in the garden and even inside for overflow seating during parties. It fits everywhere from the hallway to the dining room table when extra seating is needed. It is kept outside and exposed to the elements of sea spray and New England temperatures. As expected, it has weathered to a gray color. This spring (2012) I am going to give it a sealant coat to perserve it. I would buy this bench again in a heart beat.
