Garden Vida Steel Garden Bench, Tulip Design 3 Seater Outdoor Furniture Seating Park Patio Seat

Lovely wooden bench,comfortable, sturdy and easy to put together.bargain and looks really good.very pleased with quality.

The bench looks good, but requires a lot of assembly. Each slate needs to be bolted on individually, so 24 bolts to put in and tighten + 24 screws for middle braces. The bolts need to be really tight to prevent side-to-side rocking. It is sturdy enough, but on the weaker side. Wooden slates flex easily. There are no cross-braces, so the only things keeping it from falling sideways are the slates themselves - the bolts need to be very tight.

Looks great, a bit fiddly to put together at the start but once a couple of slats are in place it's much easier. Pre-Drilled holes all aligned perfectly. The wood is quite springy but I've sat on it with my husband and we're no lightweights so I'd say it's quite sturdy. Nice price for a lovely bench

Actually really good value. Not difficult to put together and looks pretty good.

For the money, this is very good.. Looks good

This arrived promptly and I set about putting it together. I had my Philips screwdriver ready but, please note, it also requires a small spanner to tighten the nuts. Luckily I had one that had come with another flat pack product but it would be good if they included one with the bench. The first thing I noticed was that the wooden slats are not a uniform colour and appear to have an extremely thin varnish randomly added - some areas covered, others not. I also noticed that one of the two chamfered slats (for the top and front) had a split all the way down it. I've filled this with wood glue and hope that will be enough to stop it from breaking. There was also a quite long scratch down one of the metal ends and then, annoyingly, even though I was being very careful, the same end got scratched even more during my putting it together....the surface of the metal is evidently very easily scratched. The hardest part of assembly is fitting the metal strengthening bar as it has to be bent into shape as you attach it and there are no pilot holes for the wood screws so you will also need a bradawl to start them off. It might be a difficult assembly for some people. The bench does look good and I will be giving it a light sand, three coats of yacht varnish and touching up the scratches to make it more weatherproof. So, all in all, an okay bench though I think it's very overpriced. In response to others who said that the wood started to go mouldy after being out for a month or so....it does need to be varnished as it's not made from hardwood.

Ok and easy to put together but it does sink in the middle and is a little uncomfortable. It needs extra support in the middle or stronger slats.

Easy to assemble. Looks very good and is solid enough . Very happy with this purchase and good value for money.
