Great spot! The picnic bench has gone up to £39.99 now (and will stay there till at least Tues 17 May), but the next cheapest similar offerings we could find online were still around the £80 mark. Home delivery is £6, but if you can pick up in-store, it's free.

    Had a similar bench for years, in fact my mates Dad now has it in his garden and it's still going strong.

    Would strongly advise people to treat the wood parts BEFORE you assemble them. It's much easier to get into all the nooks and crannies then, plus it means all the parts you can't see when it's assembled are also treated.

    After that, just gave the whole thing a re-coat every year or so to keep it looking good.
