This bench did not work out for me, but communication was prompt and helpful.
I bought this bench because I loved the rustic look. To be honest, I was unhappy with the one I received for a few reasons and got frustrated when we couldn’t get it put together to use outside. We’ve had it a month, and we finally were able to have a family member come over to secure the legs. He had a powerful drill that forced the screws in (after removing the stripped ones). I had a difficult time getting the three inch screws all the way in. The directions weren’t clear to me at all. I feel as if the mold on my bench took away from the beauty, and I have a knot that sticks up and is sharp and worried about it snagging clothes and my bench measures just 13 inches wide. I will say, I am a lady who isn’t very handy with a drill. Apparently, neither is my husband, as we stripped the screws and they were only partially in.The good news is, whenever I wrote to this company, they were extremely prompt with a helpful reply. When I said we didn’t know where the screws should actually go, they gave step by step instructions with clear photos. When I mentioned the mold, and knot that poked up, they explained to me this is bluing and is perfectly normal and many people love this look of knots even if the poke up because that’s what a live edge is. They explained this is what rustic means. I do love the rustic look, but I do think some slabs are more beautiful than others.To sum things up, I think this is a great bench if you are handy and strong and if you don’t mind the bluing. If you need to ask them anything, they will respond quickly. I was happy with their customer service.

Dissapointed
I realize no 2 benches will be the same but the one I received looks nothing like the one in the picture or the one in the previous review. Wood is lighter color then the stock photo and gray on the outer edges.My biggest complaint is it has no "character" like the ones in the pictures. Looks more like a straight board then the curvy and knoty edges shown in the picture. It does appear to be pretty sturdy but it just doesn't not match any of our other "log" furniture. It's more of a plain jane wood bench look.

DIY project but love it
First off I will say we love this bench. However, the assembly and condition we received it in left a lot to be desired. If it weren't for the fact that my husband does a lot of workworking on his own and has access to the proper tools, etc, the bench would have been about useless to us. It came with no hardware and no instructions. We had to use our own glue and screws. It required a power drill and malet to get the legs properly in place. Also, it was supposed to come with a clear coat but we couldn't tell if it actually had that so my husband sanded it and put a clear coat on himself. The finished product is beautiful. If you have the time and resources available I would recommend it but if you don't I would not.

Beautiful bench from great folks!
Let me start this by saying I buy tons of things each month on Amazon and this is only the second review I've written. But this is the most beautiful bench and it needs to be recognized. We're using it as a coffee table / foot rest and it's perfect. Very well made and looks perfect in our log home. They provide excellent customer service and you can see the pride in their work. Not sure what other products they make but I'd love more in our home.

Doesn't look like photo. Difficult to assemble.
This bench doesn't look like the photo shown on the Amazon page for the outdoor bench. There is no sealant or varnish on it. The wood is unfinished. The instructions to assemble the product are poorly written and difficult to understand. There are a few photos on the instruction document, but they are of poor quality and only marginally helpful in assembling the product. A power tool is needed to attach ten 3-inch wood screws through the legs for stability and to secure them to the top of the bench. Assembling this bench requires a great deal of time, patience and intuition to figure out the components and how they all fit together. I DO NOT recommend purchasing this bench if you don't have the proper tools and woodworking skills.

My favorite Amazon purchase to date!
This by far brought my outdoorsy decor vibe into the cold office. It's a beautiful slab and stain. Everyone loves sitting on it and it just looks awesome. It comes partially put together enough to still be able to be shipped. I must caution those that have absolutely no knowledge on using a drill so you can fasten the screws in and the proper angles then you may struggle. It's not that extensive, there is some pre-drilled holes and they send a printout with some directions. I recommend if you know someone who has some basic handy skills to have them help. It takes about 10-15 minutes to get it evened out. Once you have it together though you'll love it! I'm considering getting another, maybe even the 4ft for home.

Fantastic bench with excellent craftsmanship
This bench fits perfectly into the decor of our cabin. We have been slowly adding log furniture as we save up over time and this was an excellent pick by my wife. The unit was packaged very well and has a beautiful rustic look. I am using it as a bench at the end of my bed and it fits perfect next to my log bed.Assembly is quite easy with glue and a few screws. I would recommend adjusting the legs on a hard level surface before gluing to be sure it's square. The company was A+ to work with.

legs
Are the legs meant to be cut on an angle? My legs are cut on a 90 degree angle but the legs are on an angle also. Just a little of the sharp edge of each leg is touching the floor. It leaves dents in the linoleum. I will have to cut each leg at the bottom to get the entire surface area of the leg to set flush on the floor. Pretty table though.
