I was a bit wary of ordering this without a photo -- but I'm so glad I went ahead and took the plunge! It's similar in design to the other Strathmore wood benches on Amazon -- horizontal slats across the back and seat, with wood arms and legs. Assembly was simple and the delivery was fast. We plan on giving the bench a coat of water sealer before sitting it outside in order to protect the color (which is a very pretty brownish/red). The bench is comfortable without a cushion, though you certainly could add one if you wanted. It's a "true" three-seater bench -- even if the three "seats" are big ones, however, I'd be hesitant to put three really large people on it as there is no center support brace on the bottom (I'd put the lightest person in the middle). All in all, this seems to be a great bench and the price is fantastic, especially considering that the shipping is free (or was when I got it). Not having to pick it up at a store and struggle to get it in and out of a car was wonderful.
Very nice bench! March 22, 2007

This is a very nice bench -- especially for the money! It came very quickly, was easy to assemble, even alone, and seems very sturdy. I plan to put it on my front porch and sit outside as often as possible this spring and summer. I would definitely recommend ordering one!

Really a great bench - seats 3 people comfortably - easy to put together (with 2 people) - price seemed reasonable - would definitely recommend it
Better Quality Than I Expected May 18, 2009

My first thought about this bench was that I knew I needed a new one for our front porch, and it was staring at me on a Deal of The Day for $99.99 when it was normally $149.99. I debated whether or not to take a chance on it. The risks were buying a heavy peice of furniture from Amazon.com - would the return policy be as smooth as their normal return policy? Would I be lugging a huge, heavy box to the post office and standing in line to return it? Would it be un-even, rickety, cheaply made? Would it even LOOK like the cedar/oak color it appeared as on the website?
The pay-off was simply a wood bench at a good price.
The risks seemed to outweigh the pros.
After consulting with my other half I took the plunge and ordered one. It arrived in 2 days as promised, on a Tuesday... and it sat, leaning against the house on the front porch, until Saturday afternoon when I decided it was do or die. I had convinced myself that I was too tired after work on the weekdays, or it was too late, or I might not have enough light to finish it... anything I could I think of to not attempt the project, when I think the true impetus was my fear of opening the box to wrestle through packaging and fasteners only to discover the bench was worthless and in need of a return ASAP.
So I took a deep breath and tackled the project. Within about 10 minutes I had a sturdy, attractive all-weather wood bench adorning my front porch and I was taking the packaging and shipping box to the recycling bin.
I can't speak highly enough about this item. In fact, the reason I got online to write the review today is that I just ordered a second one that will sit across from this one on the porch, only this time at full price, because $149.99 is still a fantastic deal. We had checked out similar benches at Home Depot, Lowe's, Fred Meyer and Target and none come close to the quality of this bench. The only thing similar or perhaps better would be something from a Smith & Hawken, Pottery Barn or Restoration Hardware, at about $399.99 on sale. This was the right decision and I'm very glad I made it. Can't wait for the second one to arrive!
Now if I can just get Amazon to sell more attractive bench covers I'd be all set!!
Excellent Value for the Money! ...But Uneven Quality August 1, 2007

I was definitely skeptical about what we'd get. But once we received it, I was really impressed with the value for the money. This bench is very nice. Try finding a 3 seater bench anywhere else (online or in stores) for $130 with free shipping...impossible!
It's elegant and easy to assemble. Shipping was fast, and by special courier since it's so big and heavy (tip: just leave a note on the door authorizing them to leave the box and you won't have to be there for delivery). Unlike another reviewer who complained about not receiving extra scews, we did receive extra screws.
Glowing remarks said, the quality is definitely uneven. We ordered 2, which arrived together but in seperate boxes. One was in perfect condition, the other was so warped that I have to return it. From reading other reviews, it sounds like the quality level is uneven. As long as the return process doesn't turn out to be a total headache (yet to be known), I still highly recommend this product if you're looking for a decent quality 3 seater bench at a low price. Good luck!
