VINGLI 38.5" Antique Bronze Outdoor Garden Bench - Cast Aluminum & Iron Patio Seating for 2, Weather-Resistant Lawn & Porch Decor - Perfect for Gardens, Parks, Pathways and Outdoor Relaxation

My father passed away recently and I bought this bench to put beside his grave. I wanted something elegant and beautiful, relatively small, sturdy enough to weather storms, easy to put together, and light enough to lift but not enough to blow away. I love this bench!PROS:APPEARANCE: Beautiful, exactly as pictured. I ordered the bronze (which is a bronze finish with black staining). It looks elegant . I was surprised at the beauty of it in person. Ordering online is always a big gamble. The bench was better than I expected.SIZE: Pay close attention to the dimensions. This is not a full size bench like you would see in a park. It's small but not tiny. I'd say it's a one or two person bench at the most. I wanted a smaller size so this worked well for me. The product description lists the specs asHighest Point to Ground: 31" / 78.7cmHandrail to Ground: 22.25" / 56.5cmTotal Length: 38.5" / 97.8cmSeats to the Ground: 16.25" / 41.3cmHorizontal Inner Spacing of Support Legs: 29.25" / 74.3cmLongitudinal Inner Spacing of Support Legs: 16.75" / 42.6cmSeat Plate Depth: (13.5-13)" / (34.3-33)cmSeat Plate Width: 33.75" / 85.7cmAnd I haven't measured but that seems accurate. If you're looking for a smaller size bench, this is a good size.EASY TO PUT TOGETHER: My husband put it together in under 30 minutes and had no difficulty. He's mechanically inclined but said all the pieces were there, the pieces fit without difficulty and everything lined up. I had read in reviews that most people used their own tools rather than the tool that came with the bench pieces. My husband used the tool that came with the bench, without difficulty.WEIGHT: The description says 25.8 pounds and that seems correct. It's heavy enough to not blow over in wind. I'm not sure about very bad storms but it's sturdy enough I think for most weather. I liked that I can lift it to move it when necessary but don't have to worry about it falling over all the time.VALUE: Compared to other similar products listed on here and other sites, most of these benches like this seem to run about one hundred dollars at this time. Full size benches are usually more than that so I think this is a good value.CONS:DURABLITY: I'm not sure how the bench will weather in the long run while openly exposed to the elements. I think it will last awhile but at this price range, I expect to have to replace it at some point. I'm not sure about the time frame since I have not had the bench for very long.LEVEL OF COMFORT: This is metal seating. The place where you sit, in particular, is ornately beautiful but I wouldn't sit in it for hours. For short time periods, it's comfortable enough. If you want to use this as comfortable seating for hours, you're going to definitely want to buy some outdoor cushions to place in it or a bench cushion. For my purpose (seating for a short period of time) it's good.Overall, I'm extremely happy with this purchase! It's exactly what I wanted. Some of my purchases online have been a disappointment at times but this one actually exceeded my expectations. This bench is a good buy if you're looking for a garden bench, a porch bench, or as in my case, a cemetery bench.
