How much weight can a bench hold?
Each bench in this collection is built from thick solid-wood stock with through-joinery, comfortably seating two to three adults — conservatively rated well above 500 pounds distributed across the seat, with no hanger bolts to work loose.
What wood and finish do you use?
Most benches are solid teak or acacia, hand-sanded and finished with penetrating oil rather than a plastic-feeling film — the wood stays warm to the touch, and marks spot-sand and re-oil at home instead of needing a refinisher.
Do benches need assembly?
This design ships in separate solid-wood sections to protect the sculptural form in transit. The parts join with pre-fitted connections and the included key — about twenty minutes with a second pair of hands, and the joins land where the eye does not go.
How do I keep the seat looking good?
Wipe with a soft, slightly damp cloth and dry. Refresh the oil once or twice a year; small marks blend into the patina, and deeper ones spot-sand and re-oil in about ten minutes.
How are benches packed for delivery?
Every bench is made to order, wrapped, corner-protected, and boxed or crated by size. Tracking arrives at dispatch; photograph any crushed packaging before the driver leaves and note it on the receipt — we handle the rest.
