MEDIUM TREE SEAT AND PLANTER

We are very pleased with this purchase, see photo, under the soil the wife has planted a large number of bulbs for spring flowering.It arrived in good order and after a trial partial assembly on a flat surface(slabs) decided it would be a good idea to screw the bottom rails together to give a firm base for the full assembly.I gave the rails 2 coats of stain/protection to match the shed that I had just re-protected. I found, on Amazon, an 8"/500mm tube to go around the tree trunk to protect it and allow for years of expansion.The assembly went without problems on the solid base. I used an extra layer of membrane around the inside and covered it with cardboard for a little extra strength when filling with topsoil.If you're having to purchase soil to fill, my calculation for volume required was 254ltr. 8 25ltr bags of topsoil from Wickes did the job nicely with one bag left for top up as it settled. We had also added to the bottom before the topsoil some garden waste that had been destined for the green recycle bin so didn't need to purchase the full 250ltr of topsoil.Job done and well chuffed.

Very happy with this tree bench. Easy to put together.

This is so beautiful - easy to put together too

No complaints. All of the pieces were machined with precision. Would recommend.

Great addition to a garden. Took about 20 minutes to put together, Photos show it just finished with plants.

This is my subjective opinion-I was highly disappointed when I put it together and saw the end result. I felt it was too expensive for what it was. It looked to me like a kid's bench. I had planned a prominent place for it but will now put it somewhere not so visible. I will prob not risk buying such large products online in this way again.Too much hassle to return.

This might be the best present I’ve ever given to my parents. Purchased several years ago and still well loved in their garden. Last year my Dad covered the top with Astro turf to change it up a bit.

Came with liner, needed extra wood treatment but otherwise exactly as expected
