I bought this bench for the second time, the first copy is for one year on our terrace in wind and weather and is still 1a. We had had enough of the rickety, rotting wooden bench and searched a stable metal bench for three and were able to find here. The Bank is of very good quality to build stable and very easy and it looks also significantly weatherproof as the wooden predecessor. Now our garden bench was rotted and collapsed, we again opted for this bank. Conclusion: highly recommended!
