This was bought to replace a memorial bench which had rotted. Came very quickly and was well packaged. Easy to put together and very sturdy. Better quality than some other benches I had looked at for similar and even more expensive price. Very pleased.
David S. –
I initially had a problem with my bench but the seller did everything in his power to remedy the situation and the after purchase service was very good indeed! I would have no hesitation in recommending this product.
Amazon Customer –
product received was well packaged – came in before estimated delivery date – was easy to assemble only i suggest to place seat with back rest what is slightly different from assemble plan, this shows to place seat as last.

The 4ft Jubilee Bench is supplied flat-pack and my sample is well made using excellent wood with very few knots and those few are small. It is reasonably comfortable to sit on, but I would recommend adding seat and back cushions for a longer sojourn. It feels very strong, much more so than those we chose not to buy in a couple of garden centres. It already has an oily feel, but I have allowed my bench to soak up two more liberal coats of teak oil before exposing it to the weather.It is supplied with an instruction sheet, all the required screws and an allen key to fasten them. Do not be tempted to over-fasten them as the allen key offers a lot of leverage and can easily wreck its socket in the screw head or its own tip.The self assembly of the five pieces is simple and straightforward, with all the pre-drilled holes lining up and allowing all the screws to reach the full depth without splitting the wood. This took me about quarter of an hour, as follows:.1. fit the back to the pair of sides standing normally one after the other, with the two pairs of long yellow-zinc screws not fully tightened, allowing enough slop to fit the tongues of the front rail,.2. fit the front rail, and moderately tighten all the six long screws, enough that the frame still has some flex but does not slop about,.3. drop the seat into place, front edge first, tag it with a couple of short yellow-zinc screws from underneath,.4. tip the bench up on one side and add the rest of the short screws to the underneath and moderately tighten them,.5. put it back on its feet and fully tighten all the long screws,.6. tip it up again and fully tighten all the short screws.My only criticism is the use of ordinary steel screws in the hidden spots underneath, but these are unlikely to be exposed to the weather, and I took care to make sure the teak oil reached them to help minimise the risk of them rusting.It is worth looking around for deals.Addendum. 8th July 2017.As the weather will inevitably be turning for the worse I’ve invested in some protection for it, and this
Bosmere 2-seat cover
is a reasonable fit.

Built this in about 30 minutes, having said that I come from an engineering background, if this sort of thing is a challenge to you I would give this guidance , remove all of the material onto the floor, check the screw list is correct then check the instructions, insert screws three quarters of the way ,when frame fully assembled tighten screws, if using a drill driver set the screw control to its lowest to begin and then adjust accordingly to reach the desired strength to push screw in the driver will automatically torque when the screw is tight, one other rrcommentatatotGreat bench, if using a drill driver for the screws set to lowest setting first and build up the power ,the driver will torque when the screw is fully tight , let the tool do its job or you may split the wood.r

The bench is well designed and easy to assemble. The wood is of good quality and overall the bench represents remarkable value: I wouldn’t hesitate to buy another of these if we needed more garden seating. There was a small defect in that a very small corner of the front stretcher, near the hole for a fixing screw, was broken off, presumably during packing, but this doesn’t detract significantly from the quality.
Colin Cudworth –
Excellent product and company.Bought this on behalf of my mother, who had ordered a 2-seater garden bench from a local (Edinburgh) shop. On the due day of delivery, the shop telephoned to say that they had no stock left. (That bench was priced around £70.)Went online for Mum to look for a suitable replacement, and this popped up. A bit more expensive, but it looked as though it was just what she had been looking for. Ordered, and delivery (standard, free) saw it arriving in less than 48 hours.A minor issue encountered during assembly was notified to Garden 2 Home, with a very fast follow-up by telephone and email. Assembly was very easy, as noted by other reviewers. It benefits from arriving in five pieces, largely pre-assembled.Now have one very satisfied mother, who compliments G2H for both an excellent, sturdy, comfortable, and nice-looking bench; and very good, attentive, customer follow-up.Worth paying that little bit extra for a product of this quality, I suspect, rather than her original choice!A very satisfied customer.

Easy to build and solid. Good price with cost of garden furniture shooting up. It’s quite ‘flat’ to sit on ie no contours – flat seat flat back. You feel secure but if something you are going to use a lot then it’s a medium for comfort and might benefit from a seat pad.

Just what I need for my garden
Derek Read –
I have been looking for a new garden bench for some time but disappointed with the quality and availability. When I found the jubilee bench from G2H on Amazon I just knew that this was the one. Quick delivery, well packaged in a box and easy to assemble.This bench is well designed and finished and once built is far superior to any others that I had considered. Excellent value for money and should give many years of satisfactory service.
Dave Emmett –
Great little bench – once you’ve assembled it. Really important you don’t tighten the screws. Keep it loose until the seat is fitted. The seat simply won’t fit with the bolts tightened. What makes it worse is, as other reviewers have noticed, the step 2 instructions have you putting the seat in the wrong way around. The two prongs are at the back, the four are at the front. Really solid feel once made though. Looks great.
Sloccy from Somerset –
The Bench is really high quality, quite amazing for the price. Any difficulties the seller is always available to help, which is such a great recommendations these days. Do not hesitate in buying this good quality, comfortable product, it comes with a guarantee as well, another added value. Give yourselves 20 minutes to put together with ease. The Bench will withstand our different weather conditions, so its just what you need the Summer. Really love it! Thank you so much Jubilee.
PhilK –
This is a very sturdy well constructed piece of garden furniture.It is rather difficult to fix the seat to the rest of the framework as some “play” is required to ensure the assembled seat will fit properly. However, once assembled the bench is a nice addition to the garden. A coat of Danish Oil turns the wood into a nice deep honey colour. One very minor criticism, the Allan Key supplied burrs rather easily, I used a steel key which was more positive in use.
Popalulu –
Very nice quality compared to the £99- 130 priced ones. I did find one of the seat end slats was missing the 2 small wood screws and the glue had parted. Easily rectified before applying a coating of teak oil ( does what it says on the tin). (Update) 2nd bench arrived, no problems and assembled in 10 minutes with supplied tools. Awaiting a coat of teak oil before use. Very happy customer.

As far as the product is concerned, I would recomment it (and its derivatives) to anyone with one small reservation. The two seater benches we bought (three in total) arrived as promised, assembled easily, are sturdy, and now look good in our garden. Why 4 stars and not 5? I needed to stain them grey, and the process of stripping the 3 benches back to be sure the ‘paint’ would adhere took quite a long no time. Sitting on them reminds me too much of the labour involved. That’s my problem really, but I wish a plain, untreated version had been available.
Mr. Kenneth Bowden –
Easy to put together. It’s quicker if you use a quarter drive ratchet with Allen key insert, this saves a lot of time. Remember to not tighten all screws until the seat is positioned.It took me 10 minutes to assemble so I can’t see how it can take as long as some reviewers state!?Quick delivery and well packaged. I would recommend it.
debofdevon –
The instructions for assembly could be better, but it’s done, has been given a coat of wood protection and looks good.
Judith W –
This arrived promptly and appeared to be what I expected BUT the instructions are wrong and it was very difficult to construct. It is impossible to drop the seat into the frame because the cross pieces stick out front and back. We had to take the frame apart and slot in the seat then reconstruct the frame – hard work with a small Allen key. Also, the seat and frame are badly engineered and the screw holes do not match up so you cannot attach the seat cross pieces to the frame at all 8 points. It took a lot more than 30 minutes but it does look quite nice now and seems fairly sturdy.
Big Spender –
Firstly, delivery was very quick and the product was well packed. Initially I was a bit disappointed about the thickness of the timbers but now it’s put together it is very sturdy so I’m quite happy. It was very easy for one person to put it together and it actually took me less than 15 minutes to complete. No additional tools were needed and the instructions were clear enough. You’d have to be a real numpty to make a mistake!
David Ash –
Good quality garden seat, solid and well made and good value. Impressed also by the care taken by the supplier in packaging it for shipping; the product box of thick cardboard was then packed inside another sturdy box plus additional packing ties and material. Additional supplier information was included. The bench was dispatched promptly and delivered within the time promised. Excellent service.
Mike Nev –
I love the quality of the bench. It was easy to put together right until I put the last piece in; the seat. I needed to loosen the side bits off and use a rubber mallet. Be a good idea to suggest that on the instructions. But that is minor compared to how well made it is.
Carol –
This garden bench is very easy to assemble and has a rich wood finish – perfect for my garden
Mike S –
An excellent product for the sale price and is not too heavy to assemble or position in the garden.
Flaminpie –
Good quality bench which took about half an hour to put together. It will probably need to be treated at the end of the season.
L M Keating –
Just what I was looking for – thank you!
Dav –
This is not only a 5 star bench but a five star Company tooI received my bench in just 2 days from ordering. It arrived very securely packaged – and even at my senior age level it took me less than an hour to assemble with all the parts fitting perfectly. I managed to ruin one of the long screws by using a power driver – So don’t do that, but I phoned garden to home admitting my error and was sent replacement screws by return of Post.I have no hesitation in recommending this productYou will see from my photo that the colour is almost identical as that advertised
Derek Jacobs –
All good except slight niggles with assembly instruction & Seat fitting
Les12341 –
The bench has a nice colour and smooth finish but some of the holes did not line up so made putting it together difficult!It replaced a bench that collapsed!!
Kindle Customer –
Even though it comes flat-packed it only takes 10-15 minutes to put together, really solid bench and very comfortable, looks great in my garden and will be used a lot over the years
Brian Cassley –
Very pleased with the chunky design and look of this spacious 2 seater bench. Delivered earlier than expected & well packaged in a double carton. Despite this a small part of the frame was damaged in transit but the replacement part was supplied immediately after a first class response & service from Amazon’s supplier.Assembly was straightforward with an the extra pair of hands. It would be tricky for a one person. It’s important to leave all screws slightly loose until the bench is completely formed. Tighten all the screws as the last step.
Mr. Keith Alexander –
Arrived one day before time window. Assembly was a piece of cake. But, having arthritis it took some effort to use the small allen key. A good, solid design. It replaced a £50 store model which started to fall apart after 18 months. This cost three times that and is 25 times as good.Truse value for money.
J. Smith –
Bought this for my parents, arrived ahead of time and very well packaged, easy to put together and a good sturdy bench, very impressed and would buy another one without hesitation should the need every arise.
Mr Keith Rushforth –
If your looking for a top rate 2 seater garden bench at a very reasonable price look no further. Absolutely beautiful easy to assemble (20 minutes) Arrived within 3 days from ordering great service from Amazon . When unpacked one piece was damaged contacted the company in York, fantastic response arranged for a replacement part to be sent over night , lovely people to deal with. When I want any more products for the garden this company will be my first port of call. Many Thanks
Geoff51 –
After waiting three weeks for an unsuccessful delivery from a major DIY company. I ordered this bench from Amazon, It arrived in three days excellent quality, easy to assemble and solidly built, well worth the money.
Mike W –
Although the bench came well packed and there was no sign of any damage externally, there was some damage to one of the pieces, nothing major and a bit of wood glue sorted it out, perhaps this area is a little vulnerable and needs better internal protection.Otherwise very pleased with it, had no problems putting it together.
Amazon Customer –
This is a good quality bench. It looks good and is very sturdy. The company are brilliant to deal with if you have any questions. They respond quickly to email and are very helpful.
Hugh Regan –
The bench was slightly damaged on arrival. Contacted the supplier and they sent a replacement part the following day. Very friendly and helpful company.Bench looks great in the garden. Highly recommended! x
Kindle Customer –
Excellent bench. Do not overtighten the screws as you can split the wood I did and fixed it with glue. If you tighten screws fully you may have a struggle getting the seat in. Go back and tighten once you have finished. Small screwdriver used to line up some of the stew holes if needed. I had to nail a piece of wood on the bottom right corner leg due to the paving stone’s being uneven 1 inch nails no problem.
Stanley Gray –
This garden bench is first-rate. The quality is excellent, the kit is easy to assemble and the finished article is sturdy and well made. I can thoroughly recommend it.
christine a mc dermott –

Sheppard’s –
Good quality wood, easy to assemble and very robust when finished. A good finish which will probably last a few years before having to top up oil or paint!
ken mitchell –
Had to drill out a few of the screw holes, apart from that a very good bench
Mr Dougal Moir –
The bench arrived 2 days after ordering! It is of excellent quality – much sturdier than I thought it would be for the price and was simple to assemble.
ross sutton –
A very well made and easy to assemble garden bench. However the description says it is made out of Acacia wood and is of a natural colour this is not the case as the bench is of a light coloured wood and comes stained.
Card Lover –
My old garden bench had had its day and I wasn’t going to buy one until next spring; but the price encouraged me to get it now. I am so pleased I did, it is a lovely, heavy wood and certainly is well made. I actually enquired if it was easy to assemble and was told ‘yes’ and that was true. I also bought a cover for it with the winter in mind.
Mr. P. Woods –
The bench arrived in good time and was easy to assemble, in fact we were so pleased at first that we ordered another. However we had only had the bench a few weeks when, possibly due to a lack of support in the middle/poor quality wood or a weakness, two adults sat on the bench and there was a loud crack! We may see if we can repair it but it was very disappointing – and the adults were very lucky not to hurt themselves. The bench is fine for one adult but take care.
eaglepaul –
Couldn’t give it 5 Stars as it did have a couple of nicks in the wood, but wouldn’t have sent it back just for that. Don’t follow instructions, best leave all screws loose and leave one of the arms off until you fit the seat, otherwise it won’t fit.Very please with it though.
Geraldine – West Yorkshire –
Very easy to assemble , beautiful colour – I have given 5 stars across the board – I would of liked the seat and back rest to be chunkier – like the arms of the bench – but for the price and very happy with it.
