Balkene Home 61491 Patio Bench Cast Aluminum Lightweight Sturdy Bench Perfect for Relaxing Pause in Garden, Backyard Patio Basketweave Design - Antique Bronze Finish

Looks good, seems sturdy. Was easy to put together.

This is a very nice bench. It's fairly heavy, solid and should last forever. I have it sitting on my front porch under the awning so I don't foresee any rust issues but that remains to be seen. Since it's aluminum it shouldn't rust. The steel nuts have plastic protective covers. Assembly was very easy. I did it myself but it would have been helpful to have a second person hold the pieces together while I inserted and tightened the bolts, but it was manageable. My advice: ditch the wrench they provide and use an appropriately sized ratchet wrench. Hand tighten all the bolts until all the pieces are put together and then begin tightening the bolts with your wrench. I assembled it myself in about 15 minutes. With a helper it would have been completed in 10 minutes. I would buy this bench again.

Bought this 3 years ago. Looks like new. Very stylish. I cover it in winter but it's outside year round.

I was impressed with how quickly My bench arrived, from the date of purchase; it actually came a day early (loved that). It arrived intact, no damage. Could have been protected a little better, though...not sure it would have survived a rough ride without being impacted. I got lucky, as the box it came in proved it had a smooth ride. The parts and instructions came nicely packaged. All parts were present. The color and color affect is true to the listing photos. The measurements are accurate; if anything, the bench was very slightly larger in length and depth, than listed. Thumbs up on that.My main two complaints are about the instructions and one particular aspect of craftsmanship. Though simple and brief, the instructions were not as clear or thorough as they should have been. This made the assembly take longer than it had to. It assumed the buyer understood certain basics that some will certainly know - but many will not. Specifically: though they showed the order in which the nuts, bolts, and washers should be put on - the direction of the bolts and which side of the adjoining piece things should go on, was not made clear. Also - though this is merely an FYI for potential buyers, and not an official complaint - Given the way the pieces fit together, it would be easier and perhaps wiser, to have a second person help. Not because it's so heavy or complicated, but just because of the challenge of balancing large pieces together while trying to simulaneously screw them together, is a bit of a pain. This is not a design flaw, or in any way the seller's fault; just something to be prepared for.The other thing: There were two places which weren't designed quite right. One was a bolt hole which was misshapen just enough that the washer, and therefore the bolt - wouldn't sit in as deeply or straight as they should. The other was a tab bent just enough to cause the same issue. Fortunately, in the end, I was still able to get everything on and tightened enough to do the job. Again - I got lucky.All that said - I really like this bench. It is far more solid and weighty than I expected for an aluminum product - which I love. It is better made, of better quality than I'm used to seeing with aluminum products, as well. It is sturdy, finishes level, and sits nice. Good buy, would definitely recommend.

Perfect bench for our front porch! Lightweight but very sturdy, east to assemble. Doesn't rust. Highly recommend!

I have purchased 2 of these and I like both. there are slight differences but nothing that is worth mentioning. the price is good and i expect these benches to last years. even left outside in a northeast winter.

This is the second bench we bought so there were no surprises. We love the size-it's a smaller footprint than the average bench. It is well packed BUT despite that FedEx demolished a corner of the box (it was open on the corner) and one of the legs was slightly bent. We were able to straighten it out (slowly) so no harm done. It does need a cushion for comfort but I love the fact it can stay out all year (in CA) with a light cover on during the wet season. It is worth the price. Note-weight limit is 400 pounds so add up the weight of the two people who plan to consistently sit there!

This is a small, sturdy, bronze colored metal bench. It comes in 4 pieces which were wrapped in bubble wrap and it was easy to assemble except the allen wrench that came with it didn't fit one set of screws but with other tools, that was easily worked out. It is true to the picture. I was hoping for a bronze/brown and it is that, rather than off to black. It is sturdy. It can hold two people who are cozy. I'm very pleased as I wanted a small tasteful bench for the small front porch and it is perfect. I can't speak to comfort yet as it is very cold here presently and I don't plan to sit on it for long periods of time anyway. Suspect a few cushions would help if someone wants to spend much time sitting on hard metal :)
