Balser Wooden Bench

Very disappointed with the quality of this bench. The holes in the timber did not line up with those on the metal legs so it could not be assembled properly. The metal legs are not uniform and so it wobbles. This product is poorly made and not worth the price.

Simple contemporary bench with grey metal stand and wooden slatted top. Looks more expensive than it is. Easy for one person to assemble, with all tools included. Need to use a bit of common sense when assembling as either one leg was mislabelled (most likely) or the instructions were wrong. Feels solid to sit on yet easy to move. Can't say how well it will last as I've only just assembled it, but based on what I've seen so far I would definitely buy another if we need one.

Not hugely expensive and you get what you pay for. As others have noted, quality is not the greatest. The pre-drilled holes to mount the metalwork onto the bench are badly positioned and as a result my bench had two which were too close to the pre-assembled bench screws as a result I had to move the screws to allow the metalwork to be fixed on. Not an issue for me, but not everyone has the capability to do this, especially when the wood is sufficiently hard it needs pre-drilled pilot holes for a screw to take. However, it was less than a hundred quid and looks nice, it’s hard to argue for more at that price point.

Seems to be sturdy and looks good.

Not worth the £85 I paid. If it hadn’t just taken forever to put together, I would have sent it back. Holes don’t line up, one leg is shorter than the rest. Doesn’t look like an expensive bench tbh.
