We love our new bow back bench (5')! It is sturdy and well-made. In fact, it is sturdier than the Smith and Hawken bench that it is replacing after 20+ years. At first, I was worried about the minimal assembly directions, but having put together plenty of IKEA furniture, it was pretty easy. I needed a little help to hammer in a few of the pegs with a mallet, but it went together in less than an hour and looks great in our yard. I I would have bought matching chairs if they had been available. I've recommended Titan teak to a friend already. It is good quality and excellent value.
