Know before you buy
Yes, the bench arrives in pieces and requires assembly. Because it is made of solid cast stone and weighs 151 pounds, we recommend having two people present to safely position and stack the components.
Yes, the cast stone concrete is designed for year-round outdoor use. However, if you live in an area with frequent freeze-thaw cycles, it is best to keep the bench off the ground using shims or a stone pad to prevent moisture absorption and potential cracking.
Yes, the stained finish is designed to age gracefully. As the bench is exposed to the elements, it will develop a unique patina that adds character and depth to the concrete surface.
While the bench is heavy and stable, placing it directly on soft soil or grass can cause it to settle unevenly over time. For the best stability and to prevent the base from sinking, we recommend placing it on a level, hard surface like a patio, stone pavers, or a gravel bed.
Routine maintenance is simple; you can clean the bench using a soft brush and mild soap with water. Avoid using high-pressure power washers or harsh chemicals, as these can damage the stained finish and the integrity of the concrete.
