this was advertised as ready assembled but came as a flat pack. once assembled one of the ends was seriously distorted which makes it look unsupportive

There were nicer benches available but I chose this because it supposedly came ready assembled. Unfortunately, it came in a flat pack and I will need to find help to assemble it. Disappointing.

This is a very nice garden bench but BEWARE, it DOES need to be assembled, despite what the listing says, and it really needs two people to do so.
