It’s not great quality, uncomfortable and on the small / low side. Wouldn’t buy again.

Nice bench , good quality
Lynn W. –
No good for outside storage as it has spaces on the lid and all around the sides so not waterproof can only use it as a seat and it would be better if the lid was hinged and not loose as it is awkward to put back on not very happy

Perhaps some other people have been ‘unlucky’ but the item was delivered in good order, all parts present and the wood of good quality. Instructions and screws present although instructions not really needed. The Bench is easily put together by attaching one end to the main pieces first, (I hasten to add screwed into position) then tip on end and place the remaining armrest/side into situ screw to finish. Finally place the bottom piece and finish by placing the seat panel into position. None of the wood was delivered split, not did the wood split during assembly. Obviously the storage area is not ‘waterproof’ ….look at the pics.

Didn’t realise how wide the slats were so it’s not weatherproof. We will have to put some tarpaulin in the inside top of the lid to stop rain water getting through. We do like the bench, however. It’s really nice and actually good storage (when it’s dry!)

I was surprised that the whole package weighed only 18kg, 2kg of which was packaging – that’s an indication of how much wood there is! It’s lightweight and quite flimsy, I will be surprised if it lasts the season. The slats are only about 5mm thick so I don’t expect it to stand much weight. As others have said, if you want to use it for the sort of storage shown on the display images (cushions) , you would have to give it a waterproof lining. I will also add some feet of some sort so that the wood isn’t sitting on wet ground, and I think I will also give a coat of some sort of preservative.Easy enough to assemble but the seat/lid just drops in so it would be quite clumsy to remove to use the storage.

The bench looks ok sitting in the garden after it’s been painted.It’s not weatherproof at all so storage is pretty useless.Lid is not hinged- high chance of little ones trapping fingers.Wood slat broke under the weight of one average sized adult and needed repairing on its first use. Contacted seller but because it had been painted and repaired refused to discuss any kind of defects. Or sending a reimbursement of the cost of a new slat and screws. Not good customer service didn’t even get an apology.

Instructions where awful. I thought the seat part would attach somehow but it just wedges into the top, meaning its not an easy task to get anything out from the storage. I had to treat it straight away or it would rot quickly. Although it now looks nice now, I wouldn’t buy it again.

We have added two coats of yachting varnish to protect the wood. The seat surface would have been easier to use if it had a hinge attached to storage base
Ernest Engleby –
Easy to assembly, built 2 in less than one hour, sturdy construction with useful storage area, can’t answer how weatherproof they are as they have only been outside for a week or so, but they have weathered a heavy frost and the wood has been treated.

Looks great on the picture but disappointing.Arrived with no instructions or screws which is annoying.Not weatherproof for cushions- needs lining.Also not as sturdy as you would think – will only take 2 lightweight people.
Amazon Customer –

Fits perfectly
ronnie fisher –
Due to the nature of the product it is not waterproof and the storage space needs attention to line if you are going to store anything that could get damaged in there otherwise it’s amazingStorage area is not waterproof
Tam –
Great value, but needed a little sanding and painting to finish it off in my opinion. Would buy again. Good for storage of weather proof items only.

As you can see it’s all come off so could you give me any credit for it on my account thanks
Amazon Customer –
The wood is really inferior, split and rough .would not recommend . Need to ensure it is covered whenever not sitting on it as any rain is not tolerated.
Amazon Customer –
Bench didn’t fit well together. Very small and light. Poor sturdiness. Suitable for one person comfortably.

A great seat once put together, you need to waterproof it though (I used yacht varnish).
Lee Craven –
Easy to assemble out of the box. Storage function is great for outdoor toys or tools. Would be better with hinged access but seat is easy to take apart for storage.
Amazon Customer –

Perfect for what we wanted, easy to put together, wood seems sturdy enough but thinner than we expected. Very good value for money and looks nice in garden.

Nice bench. Awkward for kids to get in and out of as toy storage mind. Not waterproof either-yes did realise before purchase! However, it is sturdy and strong. Good to look at in garden and useful storage.
