Designed for the Outdoors
The fluid seat and expressive back echo wood weathered by wind and tide, so the bench feels at home among plants, stone and water. Use it along a garden path, on a patio, or at an entry where a natural statement sets the tone. It works as both seating and garden art.
Finish and Care
A layered UV-resistant coating helps shield the hardwood from sun, moisture and seasonal temperature swings. Natural wood varies in grain and tone, and outdoor exposure will gradually soften its color. Clean with mild soap and water, and cover or store it during long periods of harsh weather.
Frequently asked questions
Can the bench stay outside all year?
It is made from hardwood chosen for outdoor use and coated with a UV-resistant finish. Covering it during harsh winters or storms will help the finish last longer.
What seat height does it have?
Every standard width has an 18 inch seat height and 16 inch depth. Custom sizing is also available.

Loved in real homes
Authentic feedback from collectors and interior designers across the U.S.
Stunning craftsmanship! The shelves feel silky smooth to the touch yet solidly built. The photo approval process before final finishing made the whole custom order worry-free.

Such an architectural statement on our wall. The fluid curves in the solid hardwood are executed flawlessly without any rough edges. Packed securely.
The dimensional layering of the wood pieces catches the daylight in the most satisfying way. Solid, authentic timber that smells great right out of the crate.

Transformed our powder room remodel into a boutique lodge sanctuary. The sealed finish holds up cleanly to moisture and the organic carved legs are incredible.

Ergonomic curves combined with solid hardwood heft. The wood finish complements our mid-century decor effortlessly. A true heirloom furniture piece.
The soft arched silhouette adds so much character to our foyer. Installation hardware was robust and the wood stain matches the catalog photos accurately.
