A&L Furniture Courtyard Bench

Western red cedar is naturally resistant to rot, decay, and insect damage, making it an ideal choice for outdoor furniture. It is also lightweight yet durable, allowing the bench to withstand varying weather conditions over time.

If you purchase the bench unfinished, you must apply a high-quality exterior stain, sealer, or paint immediately to protect the wood from moisture and UV damage. Without a protective finish, the cedar will weather to a silvery-gray color and may be more susceptible to the elements.

The bench arrives partially assembled and requires basic tools to complete. Most users find the process straightforward, though having a second person to help align the pieces can make the assembly faster and easier.

Yes, the bench is designed for outdoor use. However, to extend its lifespan, we recommend placing it on a level surface and applying a fresh coat of sealant or stain every few years, especially in harsh climates.

The backless design is intended for casual, short-term seating, such as putting on shoes in an entryway or taking a quick break in the garden. If you require back support for extended lounging, you may want to consider adding outdoor cushions or choosing a bench with a backrest.
