Description
Two X-shaped crosses, set between pairs of upright slats, fill the back of the Cambridge bench, and the plain slatted seat below gives the pattern room to show. It is a three seater outdoor bench made from 100% acacia wood, finished in antique grey, with the grain of the wood still showing. Overall it measures 150cm wide, 61cm deep and 90cm high, and the seat itself is 140cm wide, with a flat arm at each end.
We would put this garden bench on a patio, at the edge of a lawn or at the end of a path, anywhere you want a sociable corner for three or a quiet place to sit on your own. At 61cm deep it can stand with its back to a wall, fence or hedge; on a narrow terrace, check that 61cm plus room for feet still leaves a clear way past, and measure for the full 150cm width rather than the 140cm seat. If it is going under a window, check that the sill sits above its 90cm height. The arms, 64cm from the ground, give you somewhere to rest an elbow while you talk.
Acacia is a quick-growing hardwood, and a tough, long-lasting one, which is why it turns up so often in garden furniture. The frame is plain and squared: the rear legs rise to form the back posts, the front legs rise to carry the arms, and a low rail joins each pair of legs at the sides. The bench needs full assembly and comes with a user guide, and a garden bench cover is recommended for it but not included. The antique grey looks right beside weathered paving, gravel and stone, and against the green of a hedge or border.
