I Tried It: Barton Outdoor Storage Bench
Briefly

The Barton Outdoor Storage Bench is an affordable option for outdoor decor, priced at $149.95. Available in black and brown with beige cushions, it shipped quickly within a week. Assembly is straightforward, taking about 30 minutes with two people, and the bench's compact design is suitable for any outdoor area. Although the cushion shows slight discoloration, the frame remains in great condition, surpassing expectations for durability considering the price. Its neutral aesthetic can complement various styles, although some might find wicker rattan outdated.
This item is available in two colorways, black and brown, both come with a beige cushion. I purchased the black colorway to match some of my existing outdoor furnishings.
Assembly wasn't very difficult, but it was easier with a second pair of hands due. The instructions were clear and all parts were accounted for. I would say it took about 30 minutes to assemble with my husband.
The aesthetic style is fairly neutral and could work in most outdoor settings, though some may feel that wicker rattan is old-fashioned.
This piece has held up surprisingly well given its lower price point. The cushion does show some slight discoloration but the frame looks as good as new.
