Garden Vida Slatted Garden Bench Wooden Seater Outdoor Furniture Seating Wood Slats Steel Legs Park Patio Seat

Good size, easy to assemble, all screws lined up with pre cut holes, good quality for price and sturdy.

Stylish little bench. Not amazing quality but for the price it’s pretty good. Varnish on the underside of the slats isn’t well painted but you can’t see that. Wood is a little bendy so probably not good for heavy weight. We bought it for our cats so it’s perfect for its job!

A superb bench,comes dismantled,but very easy to put together,recommended.

Great looking garden bench, well worth the money and simple to put together. Should last for many years.

Firstly the seat is sturdy and is very easy to assemble however it came in grey instead of the colour I requested also the varnish will have to be totally re-done as most of the struts are showing bare wood. Shame as it is a beautiful design let down by the cosmetic side of it. Hence tge 3 star rating.

This arrived promptly and I set about putting it together. I had my Philips screwdriver ready but, please note, it also requires a small spanner to tighten the nuts. Luckily I had one that had come with another flat pack product but it would be good if they included one with the bench. The first thing I noticed was that the wooden slats are not a uniform colour and appear to have an extremely thin varnish randomly added - some areas covered, others not. I also noticed that one of the two chamfered slats (for the top and front) had a split all the way down it. I've filled this with wood glue and hope that will be enough to stop it from breaking. There was also a quite long scratch down one of the metal ends and then, annoyingly, even though I was being very careful, the same end got scratched even more during my putting it together....the surface of the metal is evidently very easily scratched. The hardest part of assembly is fitting the metal strengthening bar as it has to be bent into shape as you attach it and there are no pilot holes for the wood screws so you will also need a bradawl to start them off. It might be a difficult assembly for some people. The bench does look good and I will be giving it a light sand, three coats of yacht varnish and touching up the scratches to make it more weatherproof. So, all in all, an okay bench though I think it's very overpriced. In response to others who said that the wood started to go mouldy after being out for a month or so....it does need to be varnished as it's not made from hardwood.

Bought two benches for garden. One came with no packet of nuts, bolts or assembly screws. Wood is very poorly finished with varnish on the undersides on both benches. Trying to contact to ask for a replacement set of ironmongery almost impossible.

Great quality for the price. Very easy to assemble. Very comfy. Looks amazing in my front garden.
