I use it on the porch, it is sturdy, the size is perfect not big not tiny. easy to pick up and move around if needed.

About 3 years ago I purchased a similar bench from P&H, the bench seat on this one is over a foot shorter. Not enough room to seat 2 adults comfortably. It's well made but won't disassemble for storage as easily as our original one. It's quite sturdy though.

put this on the deck and addes some flower pots and line up my watering can collection at the bottom.

Comments about Plowhearth Bamboo Bench:

Easy to fold up and put away for winter, will last for years this way;not as long if left out yearround. A great look in the garden or on a deck or porch. Very easy to move from place to place as needed. A good place to rest while gardening!

First off, the assembly is a snap. What assembly? The bench arrives folded in half, just open it, attach four screws and you're done! It looks gorgeous at the end of a path in a zen garden, and that's what I bought it for... Certainly won't be sitting on it, as I weigh approx. 250 pounds and I doubt it would hold me: the seat of the bench is not made from whole bamboo stems, but rather from thin layers of it, maybe 1/4 of a steam each. Other than that, recommended for lighter people!

easy to assemble

I use this bench in my garden as a zoning out station, it works. It's money well spent.

Comments about Plowhearth Bamboo Bench:

This is what I've been looking for -- a perfect rustic bench under an arbor of clematis vines, converting my garden "path to nowhere" into my new path to the bamboo bench.

Comments about Plowhearth Bamboo Bench:

This bench was a cinch to assemble. I use it in a large tiled shower, with a hand towel thrown over it, so that it's easy to sit and shave my legs! Fits perfectly and is sturdy. COOL!!!

Comments about Plowhearth Bamboo Bench:

I have 3 of them around a wood burning fire pit. I did not put the screws in them so that i could fold them up and bring them to the garage in the winter and they are still very sturdy!

Comments about Plowhearth Bamboo Bench:

In our winters (Massachusetts) it doesn't last more than 3-4 winters, but it looks nice until then and is priced realistically.

Comments about Plowhearth Bamboo Bench:

I wanted this for a small space on my front porch. I always have more people than will fit on the two chairs I have out there. The bench works well, but I need to make a pad for the top so it will be a little more comfortable.

Comments about Plowhearth Bamboo Bench:

It is a space saver and looks so clean and pretty on our newly refurbished mud porch. Hope it lasts a Looooong time but if not, hope you still sell it because I LOVE it!!

Comments about Plowhearth Bamboo Bench:

This bench is the perfect compliment to my yard. It looks as good as I hoped it would!

Comments about Plowhearth Bamboo Bench:

I have two of the benches on my front porch. I just had my front yard landscaped with a very simple, Japanese inspired design. The benches just fit in perfectly and the price was really good.

Comments about Plowhearth Bamboo Bench:

Finally got it on sale, and was not disappointed. I followed other reviewers' advice and did not attach the screws, and I move it undercover when it rains. It's solid, sturdy and good-looking; a great find.

Comments about Plowhearth Bamboo Bench:

This bamboo bench is great for my Japanes Garden. I have two in the front and two in the back.

Comments about Plowhearth Bamboo Bench:

haven't use this product yet. It will be unveiled around Christmas, then I will know better of the overall use.

Looks good in the garden adds a nice touch

Comments about Plowhearth Bamboo Bench:

I am very happy with my bamboo bench. I placed it against the wall of the house on a small front porch. I'm using it to hold a small fern in a basket at one end and a place to sit on the other. It looks wonderful with the bamboo wood chimes and the pagoda-like line of the porch roof. The fact that it can be folded up for storage during the winter is a definite plus.

Comments about Plowhearth Bamboo Bench:

Bought two and had them assembled in a jiffy. They are everything I expected them to be. One is at the foot of my bed and the other outside by a door. Versatile and attractive. Glad I got them.

Comments about Plowhearth Bamboo Bench:

The bamboo is varnished with something shiny that peels off in big flakes! This happened after just a few months outdoors in a mild climate. As one other reviewer said, I may just peel all of it and go natural. Otherwise a nice piece for the price.

Comments about Plowhearth Bamboo Bench:

After only about 6 months, the shiny finish started to peel off in big papery patches. I like the overall look of the bench, so I might go ahead and peel all of it, and see if the natural bamboo will look OK. We don't have extreme weather here, so it should be an indoor piece if you have very sunny or cold weather where you live.

Comments about Plowhearth Bamboo Bench:

Was SO easy to put together! I'm a 63 year old woman. took me about 1 1/2 minutes. It's light enough to lift, yet heavy enough not to blow away.
Lends your garden an Asian, oriental-garden look, but can also blend well with other garden themes. I use the two I purchased in a side garden used for meditation. It will match bamboo wind-chimes perfectly!!! And two look great in any configuration.

Comments about Plowhearth Bamboo Bench:

The bamboo bench makes a wonderful coffee table. I needed a piece to match the papasan chairs my teenage daughter chose as a living room set, and everything else seemed to clash. Since the chairs are also bamboo, the bench was perfect! Glasses with small bases need support, however, from a tray or plate.

Comments about Plowhearth Bamboo Bench:

This bench is made of bamboo, which has the reputation of being a top-notch sustainable product. And the bench when it arrived did not disappoint. It's a perfect choice for our garden pathway.

Comments about Plowhearth Bamboo Bench:

I wasn't sure exactly where I would use this in my garden when I purchased it, but I loved the way it looked and knew that I would use it somewhere. At the moment it's sitting on a paved walkway off the deck between potted plants up against a privacy screen. Assembly was very easy and only required screwing the legs in place. It's very sturdy and it didn't wobble when I stood on it to hang a windchime in place on the overhanging eaves (though this is probably not recommended!) Can be used as a bench for sitting and also makes a great place to sit smaller potted plants. I've only had it about a month so cannot comment on how well it will hold up in the elements, but it looks exactly as pictured on the website. It's not too heavy to move around easily, but, as I mentioned earlier, is still sturdy. Highly recommend as a very versatile and lovely accent for the garden.

Comments about Plowhearth Bamboo Bench:

What makes it difficult to assemble is that tiny holes have to be lined up before screwing parts together. You cannot see when they are lined up. We used a straightened paperclip to stick through one hole to find the other hole before screwing the parts together.

Comments about Plowhearth Bamboo Bench:

We have two of these benches. They are attractive, sturdy and are handy for garden path seating. They can also be used as an extra low table Easy to assemble if the screw holes match up. They matched in one bench, but not in the other. If always left outside they will look weathered and be difficult to clean.
