Know before you buy
Western red cedar is naturally resistant to rot and decay, making it an excellent choice for outdoor use. However, if you choose the unfinished option, you must apply a sealant immediately to protect the wood from moisture and UV damage.
The bench arrives partially assembled to ensure safe shipping. You will need basic tools to complete the final assembly of the cross-leg structure and bench top.
Yes, the clean, rustic aesthetic of the cedar makes it a great fit for mudrooms, entryways, or dining areas. Just be mindful that the feet span 15 inches, so ensure you have enough floor space for the footprint.
The Natural-Kote™ finish is an eco-friendly, soy-based stain that provides immediate protection and aesthetic color. The unfinished option arrives as raw wood, which gives you the flexibility to apply your own preferred paint or stain, but it requires immediate sealing to prevent weathering.
The cross-leg design is specifically engineered for stability. With a 15-inch foot width, the base provides a wide, secure foundation that prevents the bench from tipping during normal use.
The Prop 65 warning is included because cedar dust can be generated during the manufacturing process or if you sand the wood yourself. It is a standard regulatory requirement for many wood products sold in California.
