Rowlinson Modena Arbour

Great bench, easy to put together just remember front and back panels are different at the top and bottom , one allows seat to sit flatly. I can see from some other photos the lid does t sit properly. It’s under a glass veranda but will give a coat of mart varnish soon. Very pleased.

Love it! Solid and very well made.

Wood is green and rotting and it doesn’t stand upright it’s wonky and wobbly and unstable.

To be honest I am not impressed, it has many small faults and it is not very stable and moves from side to side if you move on it or touch it. It has been put together corectly by us but does not feel safe. The timber looks more like it has been made from off cuts. I am not happy at all.

Disappointed. The final build looks nice enough but 1) the quality of some of the wood is suspect, 2) is poorly sanded, 3) frustratingly, they are very few redrilled holes so building it is very time consuming, 4) the standard screws provided do not offer the structure enough support so it's a little wobbly, you should add your own thicker screws 5) there is far too large a gap between the back most slat of the seat section and the lower most slat of the back rest. Poor design in this regard (I added another slat to the seat but will need to put a support under it) 6) various cracks in the wood which I've filled so hopefully will survive... Looks nice enough but I'm sure there are far easier, better designed options out there
