Know before you buy
Western Red Cedar is naturally resistant to decay, moisture, and insect damage. This makes it an ideal choice for outdoor furniture that needs to withstand the elements without requiring heavy chemical treatments.
No, the bench requires assembly upon arrival. It is shipped in pieces, but includes all necessary rust-resistant hardware to put it together.
The unfinished option allows the cedar to weather naturally to a silvery-gray patina over time, while the stained finish provides a richer color and added protection against UV rays. Choose the unfinished look if you prefer a rustic aesthetic or plan to apply your own custom sealant.
The 4-foot model has a weight capacity of 400 lbs, while the 5-foot and 6-foot models can support up to 500 lbs. All sizes are designed to comfortably accommodate two to three people.
