Why is our Contemporary Rustic Wood Bench featured in the Autumn edition of Garden Design Magazine? Because it is perfect for the outdoors when sealed with our exterior weather-resistant finish, which is specially formulated for wood that is exposed to sunlight, water and temperature changes. It is extremely hard and durable, has a satin sheen, and is a great finish for residential and commercial use. Click here to see all of the styles that are offered with this hardy finish option.
