Conclusion
I have been looking for the perfect bench for out front by the palm tree. The Mainstays Hello Sunny Bench is perfect for a Florida yard! It will go so perfectly. I am so glad I found this. The price is sure right too. It would be more for looks, so no padding needed for the seat. I have one question, will this come in a lot of pieces for me to assemble? I can assemble it, but I think the more to assemble, the less stable maybe?
Leahrae,
The Mainstays Hello Sunny bench is not that hard to assemble if it is not bent in shipping. Just four screws for the back, four screws for the seat and three more screws for the seat support. Make sure you get all screws started and it is sitting on a flat surface before the final tightening. This would look great with planters on the seat with plenty of color in any garden area if you are not going to use it for sitting.

Great webpage on metal patio benches. They look very comfortable. Affordable too. I guess they’re not too difficult to assemble. You could put them just about anywhere in the yard and patio.
Mick,
Any of these products will not break the bank and look great in any outdoor space.

I like the Better homes and gardens lattice bench the best. It looks like the ideal metal patio bench to overlook the pond and will be great for taking breaks or practicing meditation. I was wondering if I should be concerned about any animals interacting with it. Since it will be close to the pond is there any reason it wouldn’t be a good idea?
Eric,
The Lattice bench is used by many cities in their parks, the wood parts need to be resealed every two years. I found the worst thing is bird doo that has to be cleaned off. I have had several wooden swings that the birds have used to break open seeds if I put a feeder too close. Sitting this bench close to a pond should not be a problem, take some food and feed the fish.

Hi John
Sometimes things happen in life and there is no understanding why. Just last night we decided we needed a couple of benches for a few spots in our garden, one looking out to the sunset over the sea and an island in the distance and another in a shady and quiet “Contemplative” part of our garden.
I think your site popping up has been a great help and we don’t need to go shopping if we can buy them online and have them delivered.
I don’t even mind any assembling that may be needed.
Thanks once again.

Lawrence,
Thanks for stopping by, a bench on a path to sit and watch the world go by is a great addition to any outdoor space. I have a glider and a hammock at the lake that I use for relaxing. I can look at the stars in the hammock and not see anything else.

Hello John.
Nice selection of benches here. My fave is the Mainstays Steel Bench. It seems sturdy enough and simple for my taste. I don’t like too much intricate designs. Also, I like to change it up a bit. I like the fact that I can add my own cushions as well. And of course – it is so reasonably priced – I can still look good on a budget.
The Mainstays Slat Garden bench is also nice. Thanks showing me so many options – this could have been a good thing and a bad thing, but I was able to narrow it down to 2 – ow which one will I buy??LOL
All the best.

Michelle,
Having choices is great, making one is more difficult. Style is something each person will have to work out on their own, I just give choices. Good luck on your bench choice.
