I just wanted a nice little bench to put in the front yard under my tree for the neighbors to rest on their daily walks. I didn't want to spend a lot of money because I live in Los Angeles, and it will probably just get stolen anyway. So I found this bench and figured ... good price. Happily, it's a really nice sturdy attractive bench, and I really like it a lot. No one has stolen it yet so even better!!! It's good value for the money. The assembly was a bit more than I wanted, but it's straight-forward. 2 bolts for each leg. 3 bolts for the back rest, and 3 bolts each for the two arm rests. Not bad.This item arrived very quickly. It was easily assembled by one person. The bench is sturdy and strong enough to hold a person or plants. I would suggest adding a cushion for long tern sitting, as it is made of metal. I use it on the porch for plants. It is quite a lovely addition.Cute little bench. More for decoration than sitting on. Wouldn't be comfortable sitting on it for long. Cute bench worth the price.It looks really nice.Great for decoration. Sturdy enough to hold plants or other outside seasonal items.Not sure it will hold a 300 lbs. person for long.Easy to assemble. All the parts were there. Looks good.I have an original wrought iron bench that is about 20 years old. This bench is a good visual match for the older one. See the picture.This looks cute and that is what I thought it would be for. However, I thought it would at least go together tightly and hold a child's weight. It doesn't even hold a 60 pound child without flexing because the way that it is made, the bolts can't tighten all the way down. It does look really cute in the garden, but it is definitely for decoration or maybe some plants only. I gave it 4 stars for being cute because the size alone should tip you off that this isn't really for sitting on.Easy to assembleLove the material it's made of, shape and form but being able to seat 3 people! Not unless they are toddlers. An average bum covers one and a half of those circles on the seat
