We have had these for 8 years and have never regretted our purchase. These are sturdy! And with a nice pressure wash, they look brand new!We purchased a full set of these 8 years ago with several benches, chairs, side tables and coffee tables to create little living space zones on our deck.Pros- they look classy. We get compliments on them all the time-they are sturdy, but not incredibly heavy-they slide around easily on our trex deck for easy rearranging, without damaging the deck so far-lots of storage inside. I store toys, marshmallow roasters, gardening tools. (We still haven't bought cushions for them yet.)-comfortable angle to sit on. The back is upright, but the seat declines in the back and it's very comfortableCons:-they storage is not water tight. When it rains, water does get in a bit but it drains out the bottom sides. I haven't tried storing cushions so I don't know how that would affect those. I'm not sure if the middle ever gets wet.-Wasps love building their homes inside the lids and storage areas, which is not great.-They are somewhat lightweight and do slide around a little bit or sometimes tip over in a strong wind, but I think lots of patio furniture would. You could weigh each bench down with a sand bag and probably still have some storage room inside. I just don't care that much. They're easy to rearrange.-They do catch dirt and the grooves over time, but they clean up like new with a wash.

This is a great little bench, easy to put together and it’s a nice hard plastic not that fake wicker junk that falls apart after two years. I waited till it went on sale and got a really good deal.

Another great Suncast product. This bench is comfortable without cushions but I bought cushions for it making it even more comfy and classy looking. The bench is designed with a higher front that leans back for comfort. Very sturdy. A little challenging assembling but once I figured it out, didn't take but a couple of hours to get everything together. Love the storage space underneath the seat. Perfect for storing the cushions and a blanket. I'm using this bench indoors as a sofa actually and it looks very nice.

We settled on this item while looking for a durable, poly-resin, outdoor loveseat with built-in storage and a fau-wicker look at a reasonable price. Real wicker doesn't hold up well where we live and we didn't want to cover the loveseat when not in use, so we ordered the Suncast Elements Loveseat in Java even though there weren't any customer reviews at the time. Quite a leap for me as I rarely purchase an item with zero reviews. Amazon originally quoted five weeks to deliver with free prime shipping, but we received it one week. Thanks Amazon!The loveseat arrived on our doorstep in a rather large box clearly indicating what was inside and a "walmart, site to store" sticker on it, which I though was kind of funny considering we ordered it from Amazon. It came disassembled in seven pieces along with all the necessary bits to put it together minus a standard Philips head screwdriver. I opted to use a cordless drill to make securing the plastic pieces a bit easier, although a screwdriver would have worked just fine. We assembled it in about 20min and carried it out to the patio. When fully assembled, it's very rigid and difficult to twist or bend; a nice, solid, piece of outdoor furniture.There's easily enough room for two average size people with a seating area of a little over 41" wide and 19" deep. The loveseat doesn't come with cushions, which the girlfriend prefers since now she can decide exactly what colors/designs she wants and they’ll go in the built-in storage when not in use. The built-in storage dimensions are 8" high in the front 6" high towards the rear (This offset is likely due to the leaned back seating position, which I find more comfortable) 41" wide and 18" deep. See my customer images for a visual.Pros:- Easy enough to assemble with one person- Clear assembly manual which includes pictures- Made in the USA!- Rigid when assembled- Built-in StorageCons:- Built-in Storage is somewhat exposed to the elements due to uneven interior surfaces of the storage compartment. Spiders will likely make a home here which is why I sealed it with http://www.amazon.com/dp/B0002YX98O. See customer images.- Seating area is 19" deep but the internal storage is only 18" deep forcing me to store the 19" cushion we purchased at an angle and wasting storage space.

Considering the relatively low price of this bench, I had fairly low expectations. I have been pleasantly surprised by it's overall quality as well as comfort. It was pretty easy to put together too. I have now spent many hours sitting and reading on the bench, which I have equipped with a 42in cushion. The storage compartment is really useful for keeping my patio clutter down and can hold a lot. The top of the bench is quite smooth, which does make the cushion more likely to slide around but this is not a major issue. My son got this bench quite muddy a few weeks ago and I had to scrub it a bit to get it all the way clean. It held up to this without any issues. The plastic is very high quality and I think this bench will grace my patio for many years to come.

This dual use loveseat with storage is great. Strong yet light. Easy assembly. I had to order the seat cushion separately with custom order for the dimension. I wish the Co. sold the cushion as an option.

After putting the love seat together the back of the item started bending when my wife and I sat on it. I sent a picture to the company and they said that they would send a new part, but after two weeks of not receiving the part I called and just to find out that they sent it to the wrong address. They told me that they would send a new one but that I would have to pay for shipping. I feel that this was there fault, poor quality and shipping the item to the wrong address. I should have never had to pay for there mistake.
