Amish-Made Cedar Traditional English Glider Bench

The unfinished option arrives as raw Western red cedar, which requires you to apply a sealant, stain, or paint immediately to protect the wood from the elements. The Natural-Kote™ stained models come pre-finished with an eco-friendly coating, saving you the time and labor of applying a protective layer yourself.

The bench uses high-quality yellow zinc brackets with bearings, which provide a very smooth, consistent gliding motion. While the mechanism is durable, we recommend periodically checking the bolts and ensuring the track remains free of debris to maintain optimal performance.

The weight capacity is determined by the bench size: the 4-foot model supports up to 400 pounds, while the 5-foot and 6-foot models are reinforced to support up to 500 pounds. Please ensure the model you select aligns with your intended use.

The bench arrives partially assembled to ensure safe transit. You will need to complete the final assembly, which typically involves attaching the back, seat, and armrests to the glider base using the provided hardware.

Yes, Western red cedar is naturally resistant to rot, decay, and insect damage, making it an excellent choice for outdoor furniture. However, like all natural wood, it will weather to a silvery-gray patina over time if left untreated or exposed to direct sunlight.

The armrests are 3.5 inches wide and sit 8 inches above the seat, providing a stable, flat surface that is comfortable for resting your arms. If you need dedicated space for beverages, you may want to opt for the version that includes integrated cupholders.
