We ordered this kit in the Sierra Blend color in early October. We have been thrilled with it! It was easy enough to put together that our two teen boys did it in about 90 minutes. The instructions online and the ones that came with it could have been better, but we figured it out. Specifically, the instructions for the three pillar bench only showed you how to construct the two end pillars, not the one in the middle the joins the two sets of wood slats. Speaking of wood slats, the directions say to buy 4x4s but the instruction pictures show how to use 2x4 wood slats. This took some creative reworking to make it work using the 4x4s we bought. I'm rating this good (not Excellent) because of the poor instructions. Otherwise, it's a beautiful project that really made a statement in our backyard.

Very difficult to build without detailed instructions for setting blocks....
Very difficult to build without detailed instructions for setting blocks. I searched the internet and brochures for details, none available. To make matters worse I was short several concrete blocks.
However, the project did turn out beautifully with the fire-pit and additional seating project.

Forget it.
I purchased the materials and was given a book with the quote" project instructions...." there are no directions. My husband and I have rentals and are pretty "handy" but I am trying to figure out how to put this together. I would not suggest it.

no directions! no support!
I got all the pieces and the only instructions I got where online and they don't give much help. They don't tell you how to make the 90 degree benches. Went to Home Depot and they couldn't help me either! Very disappointed!

Need a guide for the middle post
Pretty easy to assemble the whole bench in about an hour and a half. Only needed to cut 1 of the mini pavers in half to assemble the middle post without any gaps. Pavestone really should have a step-by-step guide for the middle section. My husband and I bought 1 extra of each size of pavers and we did not have any left over when the project was done. Looks fantastic around our Pavestone square firepit!

This product is defective - DO NOT BUY THIS!!!!
THIS PRODUCT IS DEFECTIVE, DO NOT BUY IT!!! The middle column does not assemble as in the picture. The pieces do not fit and the instructions do not show how to put together the middle column. Rumblestone/Pavestone's website is no help either. I expect that I will have to cut several stones to make this fit and even then it will not completely fit like it is shown in the picture
