The Cadence Bench is specifically engineered and intended for outdoor use only. Its materials and construction are optimized to withstand exposure to the elements.
The signature horizontal plank serves as a functional surface integrated into the design. It provides a convenient spot to set down drinks, books, or decorative items while you lounge.
