Nice looking and easy assembly
This a very pretty bench and looks like it is well made and will last a long time. I needed something weatherproof I could leave under a tree in the yard. The only problem with assembly was that it's long and hard to move around. I did the assembly by myself on the kitchen table. Would be so easy with two people. It's set up and we have both sat on it and it seems to hold our weight with no problem. I'm very pleased with my purchase.

I really wanted this bench. I needed a bench to replace one that got ruined. I wasn't sure how thrilled I was going to be because of the back is straight but it was a good price and the most important thing for me is that it said it came fully assembled so I ordered it. I should have read the reviews to see that it doesn't come fully assembled but the description says fully assembled. I'm not sure yet what I'm going to do because I don't have the ability to assemble it. "Arrives fully assembled for immediate placement"

    Mainstays Park bench
    Bench came wrapped in plastic. No scratches or marks. It is heavier than stated in description. Nice well made and sturdy. It really does take two to put it together since it weighs more. Looking forward to enjoying sitting on it.

    Disappointed
    At first I thought it was really good, but as I was trying to put it together I noticed in more than one place there were scratches and paint chipped I'm very very disappointed with this purchase I had such high hopes the paint is deteriorating and it's chipping away

    Happy with this bench!
    Received this bench the next day of ordering! It was easily mounted and then used by happy reader within hour of reception. It serves well the purpose it was bought for. I recommend using some cushions to be confortable.

    Nice looking but poor components.
    The bench arrived timely but when I attempted to assemble it the screws were of very poor quality. One screw twisted in half and another bent with just my hands using the provided allen wrench. The bench seat, bench back and bench arms seems to be of decent quality for the money and the bench has a nice look to it but since I can't really assemble it property I can't use it to actually sit on. I have attempted contact with the manufacturer, time will tell if they do anything about it.

    Buy it! You'll be glad you did!
    I LOVE this bench. It's the perfect size for the corner of my yard. I put it together by myself in about 30 minutes or less. I got it because I have two 7lbs Yorkshire Terriers. Living in the Southwest where a lot of critters also live, whenever they are out I need to keep an eye on them. Now it is easy to do because I sit on my bench, drink my coffee, and watch them as they play. This was one of the best purchases I've made for my yard!

    Well priced and great quality!
    I looked last year for a garden bench under $100 and could not find anything so I was thrilled when I found this one and even more thrilled at the superb quality! It's perfect!

    Very nice and sturdy ,except 1 was scratched
    The Mainstay benches are really nice and very sturdy. I ordered two . My son assembled the benches and one was all scratched up in the seating area. He had put the box outside and it got rained on , not knowing the seating area was scratched on one of them. I was told by the Company the part I needed was out of stock and they were not going to get it in because the benches are being discontinued for next year. So now I can’t return because I don’t have a box .

    Easy to assemble, Strong metal
    I bought 2 of these benches to replace my old garden bench. This bench is about 35 lb (the description on the product page shows 10.84 lb is incorrect). The bench is very sturdy. I only need to put 10 screws on to assemble. All 10 screws and 1 screwdriver are included in the package. It only takes me 10 mins to finish assembling.

    Seat slats too widely spaced
    The bench is sturdy enough for the price but the seat slats are spaced so widely that a toddlers foot can slip through and cause injury.

    Pieces do not fit together
    The side/leg pieces do not actually align the seat or back of the bench. Not only is it the wrong shape but the number of holes don't match nor do they line up with one another. Since we don't have a home metal shop there is no way to assemble this together. Absolutely do not purchase. You'll end up with four pieces of metal that you can't use.

    My Wine Spot!
    I was so happy to find an affordable durable bench! It was very easy to put together in just 4 pieces. I plan to spray it with a protective coat to prevent any chance of rust. I would definitely recommend it over some of the more expensive ones that I've seen.

    Beautiful Bench
    It was easy to put together but use 2 people. The bench is beautiful, sturdy and comfortable. I bought 2. Can't say how it holds in bad weather because it's been hot .

    I just bought 2 of these benches for my front deck. They look nice. They DO NOT come fully assembled. And one of the benches is wobbly. I moved it to different spots thinking it was the deck, unfortunately it is the bench. If anyone monitors the reviews , is there a way to fix this issue? Thank you Shelley

    Great bench, easy to build, and solid framework.
    I love this bench, it fits wonderfully on my patio! Building it wasn't so bad, but it would be easier with two people, since I somewhat struggled, but was manageable. The only negative things was that there were some scuffs/scratches on the bench, as if it had been used and also the left side where the side part meets the back portion, there's a gap that isn't on the side to the right. I unscrewed and screwed that section and it would always show up. Oh well, no big deal. Plus I bought the pillow and bench cushion from Greendale Home Fashions and it looks fantastic!

    You Will Not Regret This Bench
    Due to the reviews, I bought 2 of these benches. I was not disappointed and so glad I did not opt for higher priced benches! These are perfect for our needs without breaking the piggy bank. They were very simple and fast to put together. They are super sturdy, strong, and can hold a lot of weight, but yet they are light enough to move around without much effort with 2 people. I had to move one by myself and it was not too bad. I love that they are metal since Northeast Ohio weather is unkind to wood and concrete. They are simple but look beautiful. And they are fairly comfortable to sit and relax on. I will definitely be buying more to put throughout our property! Great product with a great price!

    Nice and sturdy! Great buy!
    This was a great buy, nice product for the price. Easy to put together. Sturdy and comfortable as the seat meets the standard shape and size (depth of seat and height of back) of a regular size adult and there's plenty of room for two, of course it's not as comfortable as a padded chair but you can always add cushions. I prefer decorative pillows to go with my new fresh and nice looking porch. I'm very happy with my new bench!

    Attractive, sturdy and affordable
    I bought two of these benches for our private family cemetery. They are attractive, sturdy and weather resistant and were very easy to put together (suggest two people).

    paint defective
    The chair comes quick , very easy to set up, looks elegant too. there is a small defective : paint peeled off at the connection spot. After 2 weeks of use , there is another spot with the same problem. I am afraid this chair will get rusted soon.
