Christopher Knight Home 300496 Colonial Outdoor Finish Acacia Wood & Rustic Metal Bench, Sand Blast Finish

I waited over a year to write this review, and I can honestly say this is probably my best quality/price purchase in furniture that I've ever made. For just over 100 $, I got a piece of furniture that is super sturdy, looks fantastic and is minimally comfortable for sitting (it remains a wooden bench). It's probably one of the only pieces I've bought where I can honestly say I don't regret a thing (again, keeping in mind it was barely over 100 $). I use it as a mix of coffee table in front of the sofa and bench for the table when I need to seat 6 people for dinner, and it works beautifully for both. I will occasionally use wood oil on it to keep it hydrated and nice. At this rate, I expect it to keep looking great for many years to come.

This bench is beautiful. We have it on our front lanai. Easy to assemble and sturdy.

Easy to assemble. Great quality and beautiful. I waited for product to be available as it was in high demand. It was worth the wait. It’s beautiful and sits 3 adults with space in between. Highly recommend this.

I just received and assembled this bench, so I have no comments on how it looks long term. However, I am very impressed with the quality and ease of assembly. The photos are accurate, not enhanced to make the product look better than it really is. It is heavy; not at all a cheap, lightweight piece of furniture. It comes partially assembled. Although the instructions recommend two people assemble it, this is not at all necessary; it is easily assembled by one person. The instructions estimate 30 minutes; this is accurate. The instructions are clear and easy to follow. No unusual amount of dexterity is required during assembly. A non mechanical person would not be challenged by what needs to be done. There are more bolts and washers than needed. Although not powder-coated, the metal base and supports are heavy and well painted. That includes the bolts and washers. Rusting should not be an issue going forward. The base and supports appear to be well over-engineered. This bench should be able to take a beating and hold more weight than you would ever expect to need it to hold. Quite honestly, I am amazed at the quality of this bench and would expect it to cost much more. I expect a similar bench of the same quality would sell for around $500 in a patio store. I buy a lot of things on line and this is one of the very best deals I have made. There are no negatives I can identify with this bench. One last thing, it may take two people to lift and move this around.

This is as advertised. Was packed very well. No damage....Very beautiful, sturdy, easy to assemble bench. I would recommend this to anyone.
