Plow & Hearth Lutyens Wood Garden Bench, in Natural

Love my garden bench in black! When I received it the top was cracked. I was so upset that I had to box it all back up and return it. Thought I was in for a fight. But it was so easy to put the sticker on and drop it off at UPS. That was it. In a few days my new undamaged bench arrived. I also liked the Care Instructions so I know just how to care and what to expect in the way of wear. It was a pleasure dealing with Plow & Hearth!

My husband purchased the Lutyens Wood Garden Bench in the natural wood finish as a birthday gift for me. He put it together with ease and applied two coats of polyurethane after it was assembled. It looks fantastic on our covered front porch. I would probably not place this bench outside in my garden even though I have considered doing so. I want this lovely piece to last for many years therefore I choose not to expose it to the elements. The fact that it folds is a convenient feature which will make it easy to store in our basement during the winter. I am submitting this review as part of a #sweepstakes entry, but would have given a five-star rating even without this potential incentive. One of my favorite birthday presents ever!
