Purchased this bench because it offers the functionality that was very appealing to me, it’s a two in one. I recommend reading through the manual before starting assembly and use some of the cardboard from the box so your bench doesn’t get scratches. The bolts can be a little tricky to line up but just manoeuvre until it lines up. Just finger tight the nuts until all have been aligned. Do not over tighten. When assembling section 2, take your time, the cotter pin (ctu)is a little fiddly. Once I got to section 2.7 I decided to put some grease between the metal plates as I would say that’s where metal on metal would start to rub against each other ( less friction). Spring wasn’t an issue but will need long nose pliers. Attached the top making sure it’s the correct orientation. All done. I was expecting something slightly heavier but very happy with this purchase.

Good design, good engineering, built well, and nice weight. Very pleased!

We have 2 so we can use as a picnic bench or turn them around to create a seating area in our small courtyard garden. They look great and feel robust. The surfaces can be quickly wiped dry after rain so we can use them straight after a rain shower without getting a wet bum! The table can be sanitized before eating which we find very helpful. They are just the right height for my husband and son but a little too tall for my shorter legs

Works well with environment
