It has a PE rattan weave over an alloy steel frame, a backrest and armrests, a 2.8 inch seat cushion, and gas support rods that hold the lid up while you reach in. Easy Life Markets sells it in the colour the supplier lists as brown.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003ePatios, balconies and porches tend to collect clutter because there is nowhere to put it. A storage bench does two jobs in the space of one: it gives you a place to sit with a coffee and a place to hide the things you would otherwise trip over. The supplier's photos show a couple reading side by side on it in a garden, and an adult and a child sitting on it on a balcony.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat Is in the Box\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe bench arrives flat and needs putting together. The supplier's photos show an installation guide in six steps, a hex key and a small spanner. You fit the side panels to the front and back, add the bottom panel, attach the lid and its gas struts, fix the backrest and place the cushion. The supplier does not give an assembly time. \u003ca href=\"\/pages\/contact\"\u003eAsk us\u003c\/a\u003e if you want the parts list confirmed before ordering.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eType:\u003c\/strong\u003e Outdoor storage bench, two seats\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeave:\u003c\/strong\u003e PE rattan\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFrame:\u003c\/strong\u003e Alloy steel, according to the supplier\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLid:\u003c\/strong\u003e Hinged seat lid held open by pneumatic support rods\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCushion:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2.8 inch (about 7 cm) sponge filling with a removable, washable polyester cover\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInternal storage size:\u003c\/strong\u003e 18 × 44.4 × 10.2 in (46 × 113 × 25 cm), as stated by the supplier\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStated weight capacity:\u003c\/strong\u003e 265 lb (about 120 kg)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eColour:\u003c\/strong\u003e Listed as brown\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSKU:\u003c\/strong\u003e CJYL26186840001\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eA Straight Answer on the Details\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThe 70 gallon figure.\u003c\/strong\u003e The original title says 70 gallons.

Those fibres look lovely but dry out, split and go mouldy when left outside. PE rattan is a polyethylene strip woven in the same way. It keeps the look but copes far better with rain and sun, which is why almost all outdoor wicker furniture now uses it. Wrapped around a steel frame, it gives a light bench that is still firm enough to sit on every day.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhere It Works Well\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBy the back door\u003c\/strong\u003e for garden shoes, gloves and small tools.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOn a balcony\u003c\/strong\u003e, where it may be the only storage you have.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBeside a pool or hot tub\u003c\/strong\u003e for towels and floats, taken out when dry.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOn a covered porch\u003c\/strong\u003e for seat cushions from the rest of your outdoor furniture.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIn a conservatory or hallway\u003c\/strong\u003e, if you like the look indoors.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eUsing It Safely\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStand it on a level surface so the lid closes square.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLet the gas struts do the work.
