Know before you buy
Western red cedar is naturally resistant to rot, decay, and insect damage, making it an ideal choice for outdoor furniture. While the wood is naturally durable, choosing one of the soy-based stain finishes will provide additional protection against UV rays and moisture.
The bench arrives partially assembled to ensure safe transit. You will need basic tools to complete the final assembly, which typically involves attaching the backrest and armrests to the seat base.
The 4-foot bench supports up to 400 lbs, while the 5-foot and 6-foot models are reinforced to hold up to 500 lbs. Please ensure the bench is placed on a level surface to maintain stability at these weight limits.
No, cushions and pillows are not included with the bench and must be purchased separately. The bench is designed with a contoured fanback and wide armrests to remain comfortable even without additional padding.
Yes, optional cupholders can be added to any of the available lengths. This is a great way to enhance the functionality of the bench for relaxing on a porch or by a garden pond.
The soy-based stains are an environmentally conscious alternative to traditional petroleum-based wood finishes. They offer a durable, protective layer for the cedar while maintaining a lower environmental impact during the manufacturing process.
