The men who delivered this bench actually assembled it first. Wow! It became great extra seating during the holidays. Very sturdy. Works well with other furniture.
The first one had the stitching coming apart right out of the box. The replacement bench has imperfections in the stain and one of the bolt holes for the legs had to be re-drilled. Overall, not bad but I have my doubts on its longevity.
We purchased this through in October 2019 to replace the exact same model we had purchased from an ashley furniture store in 2014.
They both look relatively identical, so thats good.
The one has, i think, a rubber foam padding in it, and it is considerably stiffer than the older one it replaced. We do not remember the older one ever being that firm, and the seat was not heavily used, so we think this is a newer change.
Do not get the extended warranty from ashley. Its useless. The material began cracking, and ashley claims its normal wear, and wont replace it. Our table set has always been more of a decoration piece, and has been used fairly consistently at one time a month since we bought it. Id love to know how theyre still in business if they build furniture with a life expectancy of only 60 uses!
Buying the replacement bench through was less expensive, since we did not have to pay shipping costs, so thats nice.
The pictures are of the old bench next to the new one. The close up is of the cracking material on the old bench (just in case anyone was curious).
I had to order a 2nd bench. First bench had incomplete double stitching on seat. Quick turnaround replacement.
2nd bench has one thread that is not attached to seat toward end of bench. I can live with this for now, only because I really like this bench and I dont have the energy to go through sending a supposedly new bench back. What has happened to quality control before shipping?

Great materials

Bench worth your bucks.
The first one was great so I purchased a second.
Great buy!
I love this bench. It can easily fit two full sized adults. The bench is sturdy and very comfortable. It is well worth the price.
hit or miss on quality

New one looks the same as the old
