This is a lovely bench, however it should have a center support in it. It says that it has a 500 pound weight limit but even if one 175 pound man sits by themselves in the middle, the seat bows and seems like it wants to break. This is made of, essentially, composite decking so the sun heats it up and makes it malleable. Even though this fits perfectly under the matching table I bought, I probably would have bought the 4 foot bench instead just for better structural support. Also, make sure to go back and re-tighten all of the bolts after it's been outside for a few weeks.
