OK for the price:
This product is OK for the price, but not the greatest product. It is rather difficult to put together - lots of allen wrench work and you'll need another set of hands at various times. Also, I read previous reviews about the stain running off it from the rain, so I washed it down before putting it on the patio - it still stained the patio - ALOT! Leave it somewhere for multiple rain storms before placing it on your patio or deck! With that said, it's a good size and pretty sturdy.
POTTING BENCH A PLEASURE:
I was concerned after reading reviews, but pleasantly surprised when the big flat box "some assembly required" arrived, checked out the instructions & once acclamated to them, yes a challenge, put it together. I then polyurethaned it because it goes on my deck, under the eaves. Hopefully that will help with stain/water problems others reported.
The price was very right at $53 even with high shipping fee it was $100 to $200 less than others I researched.

Potting Bench:
The potting bench was big time discounted and I thought it must be a piece of junk but I ordered it anyway. What a beauty!!! I could not be happier:) Downside: Be prepared to put it together as only four pictures serve as your directions:( I don't have an engineering degree, but it would have been useful.
Maybe not the best potting bench, but great for holding pots.:
I would actually give it a 3 1/2. All the cons are well founded, runny stain is an issue and putting in the back splash first helps significantly. Also, it helps to have three people while putting it together. Once together I have used it mostly for holding pots and as a bar during parties. It is very attractive and functional.
