This bench looks beautiful, especially after treatment with teak oil, and was easy to assemble (once we figured out we had a connector piece upside down). It could definitely be made more comfortable, however. The back is very straight, and is not very comfortable to sit on for very long. The same is true for the matching chair. This seems like a problem the designers could easily fix. It points out the drawbacks of ordering online, since it would be difficult to return these items, especially after assembly.

First I have two of these and they are very high quality in the wood and the build. So what could be better you ask? Well, they seem a bit shallow in the seat and too upright on the back support. What this means is that you can certainly take a nice enough sit for a short time, but if you plan on sitting a while you'll be squirming a bit.

This is my opinion and what this is is just that. I have found at twice the price there are quite a few options so I guess you can't have everything at this competitive price.

I don't regret buying these benches, but would have gladly paid a reasonable bit more if they were more ergonomic. It would not take a lot of expense to do this...just a bit more angle to the back and about one or two more slats width for the seat itself.

I hope the manufacturer reads this because I feel strongly that when your 90% there you should bite the bullet and go that last 10% that can truly make your product an outright "world beater"!

This bench is even more sturdy than previously thought it would be. Very much like the Teak Wood Bench that cost over ($). Better made than the Amish Version that also cost more. I did not care for the coloring when received - it is a shade of natural grayish tone. I am using this bench inside and not outside and wanted it to look more finished. So... I applied Tung Oil to it and it brought out the natural tones of the wood. It now looks like a finished piece of Teak wood furniture. Very pleased.

This is a great, solid bench. We put it together in no time at all and were very impressed with the construction. The pieces fit perfectly. An excellent product.

beautiful right out of the box, can be oiled but does not need it to look great...extremely easy to assemble, comfortable seat area, sturdy, looks just like teak at a fraction of the price.

Amazon has outdone itself! The ease of ordering, the speed of delivery and the beauty of the product make this the best Inet purchase I've made. Believe the critic who says the bench is well made and easy to assemble. This is an excellent product, is true to the buying info and soooo easy to buy!

This is a great bench and a great value. It's *very* solidly built, easy to assemble, and looks really nice. Not as expensive as teak, yet wood has the same properties. Personal note: the sitting posture is fairly upright, I would've liked a bit more reclined one, but that's. I hightly recommend it.

I purchased the 5 foot Oxford Garden Bench last August. It is fantastic and I would love to order another one. Unfortunately, they are out of stock at the present time.
