Ascot Hardwood Garden Bench Companion Set Love Seat FSC®-Certified Great Outdoor Furniture For Your Garden or Patio

This arrived next day surprisingly! It took two of us an hour to build. Fairly straight forward to assemble and all the bits were correct. Instructions were ok but people must do a quick reccy to make sure the chairs are connected via table the correct way around, it's easy to get cocky and to do it the wrong way by accident (we did!). The build quality is excellent, very sturdy outside chairs. Very comfortable and a good height for anyone with mobility problems, and you can insert a parasol through the centre of the table. We love it, we would highly recommend this product. We paid £94 (well discounted) but it is worth every penny and more as many such similar we have seen are not of this quality. **Since writing this review, i thought i would alert buyers to one problem. Whilst the integral table and the supporting strutt connecting the two chairs at the base both have holes to receive a parasol pole, the base hole is the same size as the top therefore not big enough to accommodate a parasol base which has to be wider than the pole. I had to get my joiner to make a new base strutt (needs to have a 2.5" hole at least). If you just remove the base strutt it would put a lot of strain on the rest of the joints holding the pieces together. Bear this in mind.

Great bench looks great comfortable good value for money

A mixed review here. For the price it’s ok but it may be worth spending a few more pound and getting something a bit sturdier. Straight from the box one of the seating slats was split. This was screwed into the seat base so I was able to unscrew it glue it back together plug th holes and reaffix it. Assembly - instructions are easy to follow and assembly is simple. First screw I put in split the wood though and I thought this was going to be a disaster but thankfully that was a one off and the rest went seamlessly. NOTE- examine the chair sides whilst assembling and insure the two sides with screw holes for the bottom umbrella holder are on opposite chairs. Assembled this myself in less than an hour. Kit comes with an Allen key so you don’t even need tools for assembly. Once assembled the chairs look great however there are quite a few scratches on the wood. Before winter I’ll be painting them anyway so that will cover up any blemishes. Very comfy to sit on, reasonable price for what you get.

Delivery was good through APC. Some issues on assembly. There were no pre drilled holes or threaded collars for fixing the central piece to the chairs. Seeing as 4 of the screws were flat ended I would have assumed there would be something to thread them into. Luckily was able to use some kit I had kept in the shed as aside from that it's not bad set for the price

Very good quality. Sturdy and easy to put together. Bear in mind that the four outside pieces are different. I didn’t and ended up with the joining pieces for the table on the outside of the chairs so took apart and started again. Also, the Alan key supplied is poor quality so use your own if you have one. Overall, good quality product and good value for the price.

Excellent chair, very comfy to sit in and enjoy longer periods reading a good book in the garden. Looks good and is very sturdy, made from good quality wood. Assembly was rather tricky at times though, the allen key rounded so tightening the bolts into places was a challenge, also some of the nuts in the bottom brace did not line up, meaning we had to drill additional holes to complete its construction. And use our own set of Allen keys to finish the job. Luckily I have a good tool kit that allowed for this, so don’t really on just the tools provided.

The wood had two visible splits that should have been seen as both the construction stage and packing. Rather than send it back I repaired it myself. Difficult to then construct.
