    Great Universal sold out as well! Is it all MSEs buying these? Will we be able to spot other MSEs by their garden benches?

    Who's first to christen my bench then (when I get it next week!) with a cheap bottle of plonk! :D One thing though - bring a screwdriver!

    Learn from the mistakes of others - you won't live long enough to make them all yourself.

    Yes ive got my benches, all four of them. Was told they would be here by Friday at 6 and got them at 9am this morning, thats what i call good service. Well weve put them up (2 of them the others are for family) and hope now for the sun to last then its barbque time at the weekend. Just have to see what cheap food n drink we can get for it!! Have fun.

    P.S. Dont worry about them being complicated to put together they are very easy and straight forward.

    Half price wine at Somerfield don't forget. Some good buys there. Wonder if I'll get my bench in time for bbq Sunday?!

    excellent! What are they like in terms of build quality? Are they fairly sturdy or the flimsy sort. I saw some in Homebase that were about £25 and thought they were a bit flimsy but I'm hoping this one will be the stronger sort :)

    Well im well pleased with the quality of them. See what you think when you get yours but i dont think you will be dissapointed. The slats seem a bit light weight wise, but its hardwood so i dont suppose it matters as its got the strength there. Once together they are very sturdy and solid and even have a bit of a posh looking branded/moulded (not sure how to explain it) bit in the centre of one of the slats to put at the top, showing the makers name etc.
