International Caravan Acacia Patio Sapporo Garden Bench - VF-4307

The bench was hard to construct. some of the parts wouldnt fit together correctly and that ended up not allowing the bolts to screw in properly. Once it was finally together, it was a little wobbly due to the bolts not threading completely so i had to add some of my own screws to get it stable. Im pleased with the overall look of the bench, but not pleased with the construction.

Well constructed, quality attaching bolts and hardware, easy to assemble, very pleased w/ the bench...

I purchased this bench in December and have just purchased a second one. It was easy to assemble and looks good. However, there is a support in the center of the seat that broke immediately on mine. It's very poorly designed and is shaped so that a bump-out is almost guaranteed to split along the grain. That said, the support does not appear essential -- we haven't noticed a need for it. In my opinion, the cheap price and nice look make up for it. But buyer beware.

Used for seating by my pond. Nice size and design but centre seat support broke when sat on. The "short-grain" timber at each end needed an extra, longer screw for strength
