Customer Reviews

Fair to poor construction and materials
I received this item and was a little disappointed. The floor of the bench housing is just cheap (very cheap) plywood. The lid is also plywood (although it has a cedar frame around it for looks, and, the top of the plywood is covered by the cushion). The thickness of the cedar is only 3/8". The cedar, however, is genuine, and, it is well shaped tongue and groove.

The cushion is not really "natural." It is darker - more of a light brown.

This is rated for "moderate" assembly skills. The unit was poorly drilled at the factory. The holes are all over the place. I had to remove some of the factory set screws, and, re-set them because the panels were not assembled at the factory correctly. It took about 45 minutes to assemble with a cordless screwdriver.

Before assembly, I sprayed it with tung oil (the best possible preservative for wood). I mixed the tung oil with an equal amount of citrus solvent to thin it. The wood was so dry that it, literally, sucked up the oil. I am hoping it will help it weather as I intend to keep this outside.

It looks okay. I bought it to keep spa supplies out of doors, near the spa, during the summertime. It will serve that purpose.

This appears to have been designed for indoor use (mostly decoration and light storage).

It isn't worth much more than $150.00 to $200.00 (including shipping). I also hope this helps.

Bad
This product arrived, before it even showed shipped in the system. Opened the boxes and it became clear that this is a cheap product. The peices the were already assembled were warped, not put together well.
So sorry that 225.00 doesn't buy you more.
