Know before you buy
Yes, the New Hope bench is designed to be modular. You can easily connect multiple units side-by-side to create a custom-length bench that fits your specific patio or garden space.
Very little. Because it is made from high-density polyethylene (HDPE), it does not require painting, staining, or sealing. Simply wipe it down with soap and water to keep it clean.
Absolutely. The poly lumber is engineered to resist fading, cracking, and splintering, even when exposed to harsh weather conditions. It is built to remain outdoors throughout the year.
The bench arrives partially assembled. You will need to perform some final assembly steps, but all necessary stainless steel hardware is included to make the process straightforward.
While the construction is highly durable, this specific model is intended for residential use only. It carries a 20-year residential warranty, but is not rated for commercial applications.
