Fritz Hansen Cadence Bench

Yes, the bench is crafted from FSC-certified teak, a dense, naturally oily wood that is highly resistant to rot and decay. While it will withstand the elements, the teak will naturally weather to a silvery-gray patina over time if left untreated.

The slatted construction is functional rather than just aesthetic; it allows rainwater to pass through the seat and backrest rather than pooling on the surface. This prevents water damage and helps the wood dry out faster after a storm.

The integrated shelf is designed for lighter items like beverages, small potted plants, or books. While it is stable, it is not intended to support heavy loads or to be used as a seat.

The Cadence bench typically arrives partially assembled or requires minimal setup. Please refer to the included assembly guide, as the process involves securing the main structural components to ensure stability.

Absolutely. Its clean lines and natural teak finish make it a versatile piece for entryways, sunrooms, or mudrooms. The durable construction ensures it handles high-traffic indoor areas just as well as it handles a patio.

For routine cleaning, simply wipe the bench down with a soft cloth and mild soapy water. Avoid using harsh chemicals or pressure washers, which can damage the wood grain.
