Know before you buy
While cast aluminum is lighter than traditional wrought iron, it is sturdy enough to remain stable in most outdoor environments. If you live in an area with exceptionally high winds, you may want to place the glider in a sheltered spot.
The powder-coated finish is designed for durability and requires minimal upkeep. Simply wipe the frame down with a soft cloth and mild soapy water as needed to remove dust or debris.
The cushion is designed for outdoor use, but it is not completely waterproof. To prolong its lifespan and prevent mildew, we recommend storing the cushion indoors or using a protective cover during heavy rain or extended periods of non-use.
Yes, this bench arrives unassembled. It includes all necessary hardware and instructions to put the frame together, typically requiring basic tools and a bit of time.
The Santa Barbara bench is engineered to comfortably seat two adults. While specific weight limits can vary, the cast aluminum construction is robust enough to support standard residential use for two people.
The glider mechanism is designed for a consistent, gentle back-and-forth motion. It provides a smooth, quiet experience that is ideal for relaxing on a patio or porch.
