Lilly 3 Seat 150cm Garden Bench - Ergonomic Wood Outdoor Patio Furniture - Durable Green Natural Pine Design with Dip Treated Timbers

Am very impressed with this bench. First up delivery was first class. I was given a date for delivery by Arrow XL which wasn't suitable, as I needed to be in to sign for the delivery. Was easy to rearrange with them directly, and it was delivered as promised. Before erecting I stained with Postsaver Creocote light brown, which changed the light green appearance to a natural finish, and in my eyes bringing out the real beauty of the wood. I will give it a yearly stain, and should last me years. Erecting was straightforward enough with a cordless screwdriver plus a standard screwdriver to fully tighten the screws. I assembled in under an hour by myself. The bench is comfortable enough, no issues there, very sturdy, think it looks great, and asthecially very pleasing on the eye. Wish I had room for another, but I don't, as is a great buy!

Strong and sturdy,comfortable pretty easy to put together very good quality,came flat pack legs already assembled screws supplied would definitely recommend .my partner applied 2 coats of exterior varnish looks great had many complements

As has been commented by one or two other reviewers, this is a fine bench, sturdy and appears well-made. However, there are niggles too. They do not detract from the finished bench but that is the key word - to get this to be its best you could consider finishing it off. Firstly, not all of the main bars that go across are exactly the same length. Believe it or not, this is true. Some are just ever so slightly out, maybe 1cm or something like that. You can hardly tell. It doesn't detract from the bench, but it's just weird that you'd expect they'd all come off the same machine at the same time? One of the bars was also not chamfered at one end... maybe someone forgot? Plus the screw hole guides in the two legs don't line-up correctly with the holes in the bars - so I had to just drive on through and force the screws into the wood where there was no pilot hole. I'll reiterate, though - I like this bench. What I did was this... I got all the parts together and I sanded them with an orbital sander at 230 grit - just to smooth it down a bit as the wood is still quite rough... this was a light sanding only... it just made everything feel better. Then I put some wood hardener into the feet and let it soak in (I had it handy, so I just thought I would). Then I rubbed linseed oil into all of the parts before assembling. You need a PZ3 bit to drive the screws and I used an impact driver as I was going into solid wood... job done in hardly any time at all. The whole thing took me an afternoon because of the sanding and oiling but the bench now looks a very attractive golden colour. I'm pleased with it and I'm hoping that it will stand the test of time. It's rigid and not actually that heavy. I even though I could make this myself while putting it together... I might give it a go and make one even longer and even more sturdy. I didn't think pine would cut it (no pun intended) but I bet it will be fine.

REALLY chuffed with these. Quick and easy self-assembly, I put two of them together - on my own - in 30 minutes. Allen key is included, you'll only need a big phillips screwdriver to complete. They're comfortable and solid and seat 3 to 4 people no problem. The pale with green tinge finish proves they've been pressure treated (that's the green tinge) and I'm looking forward to them ageing gracefully to silvery-grey. The fixings are substantial and appear to be weatherproof solid brass. All the screw heads are deeply countersunk, so child and clothing friendly. Reminds me - all the slat edges are bevelled, again no snagging and all timbers are planed and sanded all round. The design will suit formal or informal - using them informally here around a pond and they look great to me (see photos). You can buy other timber benches for £120 but if you look at the thickness of the slats and legs of the competition, as well as the fact the competition all have the same square boxy look, you will see that these offer a more attractive solution and way better value for money. Might buy a couple more at some point. Recommended product and seller.

It's been tantalised to protect the wood 👍 I haven't put it together yet no point until spring and will be giving it a coat of paint then, glad I got it on a black Friday deal real bargain.

My wife and I ordered this bench because we liked the look of it and we have not been disappointed. The timber is good quality and yes there were a few natural cracks and knots but this adds to the unique character of the bench. It was easy to assemble and I would advise not tightening the screws too much while assembling it. Once everything is assembled then go round and tighten every screw. We are in process of adding a good quality varnish to the bench and then we can enjoy using it.

Excellent value for money, fast delivery & only took 15 minutes to assemble you will need a power drive a normal screwdriver won't be efficient, don't over tighten the screws

Lovely bench. Great weight and size. Will look great in any garden. Comfy too
