Combining both garden furniture and an outdoor feature, the Outsunny Metal Arch Bench is a popular pick for those updating their gardens or balconies. It’s a really attractive piece to add to an outdoor space, boasting an arched trellis that can be adorned with vines, flowers or hanging baskets, plus a comfortable seat with a padded cushion.
The arched bench is currently on sale at Amazon, bringing the price down by 19% to £92.80 rather than £114.99. It’s made from a weather-resistant metal material, so it can stay outside at all times of the year, without damage.
Adding elegance and sophistication wherever it is placed, the bench has enough room to fit two people. Whether relaxing alfresco with a cuppa in the morning, or reading a book with the sun shining, this piece of furniture will likely become one of the most-loved pieces in the garden.
For a cheaper alternative, Robert Dyas has this Garden Metal Arch Bench for £89.99. It is important to note that the cushion is not included, but people say it is ‘very easy to assemble’.
Shoppers who would prefer wood over metal may wish to consider the Rowlinson Sherwood Garden Arbour from B&Q. It is more expensive than the Outsunny option, but it is on sale for £209.99, down from £239. Customers who have already got hold of it say it is a ‘lovely addition to the garden’.
The Outsunny bench has already racked up a whole host of fans, many of whom confirm that while it does require some assembly, it is quick and easy. One person bought it as a gift, writing: “Fantastic retirement present. They loved it. It was easy to put together. Very stable and comfortable.”
A second shopper put it on their balcony, commenting: “I bought it for my balcony. Easy to assemble, easier with 2 people. It’s good for a balcony or outdoor space to enjoy the sunshine. My daughters loves it. No tools needed, everything is included.”
Described as ‘super value’ and ‘very comfy’, the garden bench is more than £22 off at Amazon – the lowest price it has been in 30 days, according to the retailer. Those who change their mind on where to put the bench should not worry, as pointed out by someone who said: “Lighter than you would think, so easy to move the box and the fully assembled product around the garden.”
Making the most of the arch to add colour to their garden, a five-star reviewer shared: “This bench is eye-catching without any climbers, but I’m trailing jasmine on both sides. It’s light enough to move easily if required, but stable enough also, perfect for 2 people, only have a small garden, so just the right size, being metal, it could be repainted if required.”
Consumers who choose to plant beautifully fragranced flowers under the arch can enjoy the scent as they sit on the bench. A happy customer explained: “Well made, fairly easy to assemble. Looks good. Looking forward to seeing climbing plants established around it.”
It’s not without fault for everyone, however, and a star has been deducted. One person said: “Very easy to assemble. Great to sit on and read a book. The only thing I would say is that the back of the seat tilts back a little too much for me. But just a minor negative.”
This wasn’t a problem for someone else who pointed out: “The pergola was easy to put together using the instructions provided. All the pieces were in the package when it arrived, and nothing was missing or damaged. Once erected, the pergola felt sturdy. It looks great in my garden, and the cushion that came with it makes it very comfortable.”
