The bench is solid and well constructed; the shipping crate was also very adequate to protect the delivery. I am disappointed by the color selection process on the website as the photos do not change when you select a different color, only the very small thumbnail changes. Whichever color choice you pick, the photo still shows the brown bench, which was the one that we wanted. Instead, my selection was the "Alpine", but we didn't really want the grey look. The photo still showed the brown.

This bench is a heavy, sturdy outdoor bench made of stone, but it looks just like wood! We put it in the center of a labryinth that we have in our backyard & we love it! We got the smaller one and it is just as pictured.
