Bought this over a year ago. What a perfect solution to a hard to fit area. We bought two pack, and have two benches covering a trapezoidal area. We were able to cut our wood to match the angle and now have a perfect plant bench. We've got about 200 pounds on each bench, with no problems at all.
This was exactly what we needed to construct a bench for our patio. We used redwood 2x4s and so far it seems fine. It's probably best to not go much wider than 4 ft with redwood or it will bow when you sit on it. We actually are using 3 kits to make two 8 foot benches. Each bench has 3 supports
We were very please with the item. The bench will be really easy to assemble and disassemble for the winter. Go to Lowes or Home depot and ask them to cut the wood pieces for you and all you have to do is bring them home and screw it together.
This is a wonderful product that was purchased for our deck and is mainly for decoration but will also be used for guests.
Yes, you are only getting the legs and screws when buying this product (thank you to those who pointed that out in previous reviews). Keep this in mind, you can select the size of your bench just by having the wood cut to your desired length, that is what attracted me to this product.
I went to Lowe's and purchased (4) 2x4x8 pieces of treated wood for a total of $10. You may need to purchase 5 pieces, the fifth piece being the wood under the bench. The wood cost is lower if you decide to purchase untreated wood. Lowe's cut the wood to my desired length for free, so easy. Got home and put the bench together, 20 minutes.
