ALDI Gardenline Garden Storage Bench

Ideal for outdoor with additional storage – Strong and weather proof, the storage area under the seat is a bonus as items from your outdoor furniture cushions fit nicely, Ease of assembly and instructions are good. take your time as once assembled it is difficult to pull apart

lid cracked after 6 months – firstly no warranty card so aldi probably wont cover replacement , very flimsy cove has cracks after 6 months waste of plastic, will try and get aldi to replace lid as i hate seeing wasted plastic Show details

Very sturdy and easy to assemble – Bought this item today from Aldi...very happy with it...very strong and easily takes the weight of two adults....the storage area also very good and up off the ground so reasonably waterproof.... Show details

No Warranty Card, No Instructions – We've just purchased a Gardenline Garden Storage Bench. It says the box contains a warranty card and instructions but it doesn't. Can't find the instruction manual online but can find dozens of similar complaints from other dissatisfied customers. Not impressed, it's going back for a refund Show details

missing parts – handy box overall, perfect for storing items. however when we opened the box, there were no instructions no warranty card, no wheels and a broken clip on rear. the box itself was easy to assemble instructions weren't needed. i called the company straight away who said they would send replacement parts. i am still yet to receive them.

Disappointing - more plastic for landfill – Missing all the small parts including wheels. The front piece was all scratched up, would not have been possible that this happened in transport due to the location of this part in the box, it would have been a manufacturing fault. Not worth even a fraction of the price I paid for....terrible value and this item will likely go out in the next council clean up.

More UV Stabilised LANDFILL – We probably should have known better than to buy more of this rubbish. But we thought we'd be fair and give them another shot after experiencing the Twin Tumbling Composter debacle. As per the last Gardenline purchase we made at ALDI, this one also came with missing parts. Although all of the required screws were in their packets this time, 2… Read more

of the critical inserts for the side pieces were absent, meaning assembly was never going to happen at my house at least. The factory assembled pieces were also cheap and nasty, as they were visibly misaligned and that issue couldn't be easily remedied by me. At least not without a portable blow mold and some matching coloured PVC to inject. The product is also poorly made in terms of fitting, as the most visible pieces that are supposed to click and lock in together, just don't, not by a long shot.

Anyway, if I could give them a bill for my fuel and the 15 minutes of lost assembly time, I would, however I seems we'll just have to concede to another inferior Gardenline product as we've now driven it back to ALDI the same day (today) for a full refund.

Sorry ALDI, but how about tightening up on the quality control and scrutinising your suppliers a bit more closely, this qualifies as nothing more than expensive LANDFILL.
