Customer Reviews for Highwood Lehigh 60 in. 2-Person Charleston Green Recycled Plastic Outdoor Picnic Bench

Arrived well packaged, very easy to put together, ( just attach the 2 end legs with the tool they provide). It is sturdy. 3 average sized people can easily sit on it. We are using it on a screened in porch and we purchased this because we wanted something that can stand up to harsh coastal weather year round.

Received the quick ship 5ft Lehigh b ench. Went to bolt legs on and noticed that they attach differently than the bench in the picture. The first picture is from the website. The second picture is how it actually attaches. This might contribute to side to side movement, but the flimsy material is what causes all of the other wobbles. The bench is very wobbly side to side. The lack of supports in the middle also make this bench flex in the middle way to much. My 4 year old stood in the middle of the bench and it flexed so much that he started jumping on it like it is a trampoline. I weigh 220lbs and when i sat down it flexesd and moved so much that I thought it would break. I also have 300+ lbs people in my family that will snap this thing if they sit on it. Maybe I have a defective one. I spoke with customer service and I explained that the bench was too wobbly and bendy and would not meet my needs. He said they stand behind their product and they will make it right. I said I just would like to return it. He said I will have to pay for shipping because the seat is fine but I just dont like it. I said that is not acceptable and that is not making it right. I said that I would be forced to leave a bad review and he said that's fine. People will continue to buy their stuff even with my bad review. I will not pay to return this bench. Any reputable company would send a return shipping label. DO NOT BUY anything from this company. The plastic is flimsy. There are other composite benches that are rock solid. This is not one of them. Buy from a different company with quality products and customer service

good product; easy to assemble; handsome looking - could use to support a little more weight
