| I was really surprised how sturdy this bench was when it arrived. I have it outside our front door and people love it! 2 people can sit on it comfortably. It was really easy to set up and the price is a steal. |
lightweight and strong

I received this bamboo bench as a birthday gift from a dear friend. I had originally added it to my wish list because I had been looking for something to use as a frugal version of a chabudai table, one of the low traditional Japanese dining tables. Most of the chabudai tables that I could find ran well over $100-$200, and this looked like it might fit the bill but for a much lower cost.
The good news is that it pretty much works as a chabudai, although it's not as big as I had envisioned it in my mind. You can't seat 4 people for dining at this table, but 2 or 3 work just fine. As such, it works great for when a few of us want to dine in the living room while watching tv or just conversing. It's much more intimate than separate TV tables, and it's a perfect height for eating while seated on the floor.
It comes fully assembled right out of the box. The legs fold easily and the bamboo construction is ultra-sturdy. I can think of numerous uses for this table other than as a chabudai. It makes a great coffee table, or you could use it as a garden bench or even put some craft paper on it and use it as a portable art table for yourself or the kiddos. I'm sure the list could go on, especially if you're creative.
This table is a big WIN all the way around. It's a great table for the price. Highly recommended.

The bench is nice and neatly made, but broke probably during shipping. It came in a box about 50"X12"X12" without any packing or wrapping inside at all! I think this allowed it to be damaged. One of the big side bamboo pieces on the seat cracked in three evenly spaced places 6 inches deep on one of the ends.
I will probably attempt to glue it since it does not affect the structure. Disappointing since I spent $18.00 for shipping.
Otherwise this one is a light yellow varnished finish throughout with thin brown cord to weave the bamboo together. Authentic and natural looking. I will put it under an eave outside. Measurements are true to size and only two screws need un and re-screwing to assemble the legs upright for use. Legs are 8-1/2" and 38-1/2" on center, in case one needs to place stones to set it on.
Glad I got it, but didn't plan on paying for a broken item. |
