Layla Grayce Essentials Aitkin Bench

Acacia is naturally weather-resistant and durable, making it an excellent choice for outdoor furniture. However, like all natural wood, it will weather over time if left exposed to the elements; we recommend using a furniture cover or storing it during harsh winter months to maintain its finish.

The brass accents are designed to complement the wood and will develop a natural patina over time when exposed to outdoor conditions. If you prefer to keep them shiny, you can gently polish them with a brass-safe cleaner, but most owners prefer the character that comes with the aged look.

The bench weighs 69.30 lbs, which provides a solid, sturdy foundation that won't easily tip over in wind. Its weight makes it stable on flat patios or decks, though you may want to place it on a level stone or paver surface if you are setting it up directly on soft grass.

Yes, the Aitkin Bench arrives unassembled. It includes all necessary hardware and instructions to put it together, typically requiring only basic tools and about 20 to 30 minutes of time.

For routine cleaning, simply wipe the wood down with a soft, damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid harsh chemical cleaners or power washers, as these can strip the wood's natural oils and damage the finish.
