Know before you buy
Because of its significant weight, this bench requires a level, solid surface like a concrete patio, stone pavers, or a compacted gravel base. Avoid placing it directly on soft soil or grass, as the weight may cause it to sink or become unstable over time.
Yes, the cast stone construction is designed for outdoor durability. However, in regions with harsh freeze-thaw cycles, we recommend covering the bench or elevating it slightly off the ground during winter to prevent moisture absorption and potential cracking.
Because each piece is handmade and finished by artisans, there will be slight variations in color and texture. These natural inconsistencies are part of the cast stone process and ensure that your bench has a unique, authentic character.
No, the bench arrives as a single, solid piece. Due to its substantial weight of 432 pounds, you will need to arrange for professional assistance or heavy-duty equipment to move it into its final position upon delivery.
Routine cleaning can be done with a soft brush and a mixture of mild soap and water. Avoid using high-pressure power washers or harsh chemical cleaners, as these can damage the finish and the integrity of the stone surface.
