Too much maintenance for me.

I like the aesthetics of it but I’d recommend that it be placed on a covered porch/deck.

There isn’t any airflow on the seat and back + it looks like water would collect on the seat.

I agree. The wooden part reminds me of a church pew which of course would be for indoors.

No. Too cutesy for my taste. If its going to be exposed to weather very long the paint will suffer and it will look tacky. Also agree about the solid seat collecting moisture.

It looks beautiful to me. And it looks quite comfy, too; it has the right shape to be comfortable for a wood bench, IMO. But as others have written, some serious weather protection is needed if that's going to be outside.

If YOU like it, it shouldn't matter what other people think.

I like it!!!!
AGree, though, that maybe protecting the wood seat and back is a good idea and I would repaint it.

It's a nice looking bench. It might be OK for an indoor sunroom or screened in porch, but that would be a lot of work to maintain out in the weather.

Also not sure how comfortable it might be. I have one with similar back/seat geometry and it gets uncomfortable after a few minutes. Looks cool but not very practical.
