Nice bench, took a while to arrive

The bench is smaller than the photo made it look but it's still a nice size for the balcony. Delivery took about ten days which was slower than I'd hoped. Checkout was easy though.

better than the one from the big chain

I'd looked at the bench in two big DIY stores and a couple of other websites before settling on this one. The seat is noticeably chunkier and the finish feels more even, and it cost a bit less than the store version. Ordering took about five minutes and the bench turned up in good condition, so I'd happily order from them again.

Been buying from them for years

I've been ordering garden bits from this site for years and it has always been reliable. This time the bench took nearly three weeks to turn up, which was longer than I'd expected. When I rang to ask, they were polite and told me the stock had been delayed. The bench itself is solid and I'm glad I waited for it, though I'd have liked a bit more notice about the wait.

Lovely teak bench for the patio

We ordered the teak bench for the patio in late spring and it arrived well wrapped and without a mark on it. The timber has a nice warm colour and the slats are sanded smoothly, which I did check carefully as my husband is particular about splinters. The only thing I'd mention is that the delivery window was a little longer than I'd been told, but the driver was courteous and it was all perfectly fine in the end.

decent bench for the money

Good value for a solid garden bench, and it arrived in a decent state. The wood is a bit thinner than I expected but it's held up fine on the patio so far. Ordering was quick and the price was lower than the big DIY chains near me, which is why I went with it in the first place, though the delivery slot took a while to pick.

Needed something for the balcony

Needed a bench for the balcony because we finally got some outdoor space and I wanted somewhere to sit with a coffee in the mornings. Found this one on the site on my phone while on the bus, and the ordering bit was easy even with my thumbs. It arrived a few days later, not too heavy to carry up the stairs, and it fits the space perfectly. Happy with it, just wish the delivery had been quicker.

Tried a few options first

The bench I picked from this site is the one I kept coming back to after comparing a few others. The price was a little more than the cheapest I found but the wood and the finish looked better in the photos and in real life. It came quite quickly and the packaging was fine, though I did wonder about the delivery slot being a whole day wide.

Needed a bench for the balcony

Needed something to sit on out on the balcony and this fitted the space. Ordered Tuesday, it came Friday, no issues. Looks nicer than the photos honestly, and the wood is smooth so no splinters on my legs. Would order again, cheers.

Good bench, slow to come

I've bought garden furniture from this shop for a good many years and this bench is a sound addition to the garden. It did take nearly two weeks to arrive, which was longer than the estimate they gave me, and I had to ring twice to find out why. Once it came, the wood was well finished and the price was fair for what you get, so I'd still order from them again, though I'd allow more time for delivery.

Same bench, third time

This is the third bench I've bought from them, and the same model has been reliable every time. The most recent one came in good order and went together with the same fittings as before. I've been a regular customer for a long while now and the service has always been spot on.

Better than the one at the big store

Compared to the one I had seen in a big shop, this bench is more solid and feels like it'll last. The price was lower too, and I didn't have to queue or drive anywhere to get it. Ordered on my phone during my lunch break, it came a few days later and the seat is far more comfy than I expected for the money.

Quick order on my phone

The first thing I noticed was how quick the checkout was on my phone, which is what I wanted while I was on the bus. The bench arrived in good nick and the instructions were easy enough to follow. Price was fair and the whole thing took about a week, so no real complaints.

The best bench i've had

This is the best garden bench I've owned and I've had a few over the years, so I know what to look for in the timber and the finish. The seat is cut from proper hardwood with a nice grain, the joints are tight and the spec matched the description exactly. Ordering was straightforward and the delivery came when they said it would.

sound and well made

I bought the teak bench for our front garden after some deliberation, and I am glad I did. It arrived promptly and the carton was in very good order, which I did not expect for something so bulky. The finish is sound and it has weathered a wet fortnight without complaint, so I have no reservations about recommending it to a friend.

Great bench, would order again

Quick verdict: it's a great bench and I'd buy from here again. Ordered it on a Tuesday for the back garden, sat it together on my own in about an hour and it's sturdy with no wobble at all. Price was fair for what you get.

needed a replacement bench

We needed a replacement after the old bench split in a storm, and I know a fair bit about garden woods so I was particular. This one is well chosen, the timber is dense and the joints are cut properly. Ordering was smooth and the price was right for the spec, so no complaints from me.

Checked a few before buying

Checked a few other sites before going with these, mainly to compare the price of the same style of bench. The price here was the best I found by a fair margin and the bench came in a tidy condition, which I'd not always expect. Ordering was simple and I'd go back for the next bit of garden furniture.

better value than the others

Compared with a couple of other places I looked at, this bench is clearly better value for the size and weight. The seat is solid and the legs feel well braced, and I paid less than I would have elsewhere. Quick order, no fuss, and it arrived on time, which is all you can really ask for.

Compared with the last one we had

Compared with the metal bench we had before, this one is far kinder on the backside and much less likely to rust. I've been ordering from this lot for years for bits and pieces, and the service has been consistent every time. The bench arrived a day early and there was nothing to complain about on price either.
