Introducing the Chunky Rustic Outdoor Garden Bench from Ashford Blake, a bastion of classic design and enduring quality. Built from sustainably sourced, Swedish Redwood timber, this bench is as robust as it is charming, with a natural finish that highlights the wood's authentic grain and texture.

Thick, sturdy X legs support the generous seating area, providing a durable and stable foundation for your outdoor enjoyment. The warm, natural tone of the bench invites relaxation, whether you're enjoying a quiet moment alone or hosting a lively gathering with friends and family.

Though impressive on its own, the Chunky Rustic Outdoor Garden Bench can also complement one of our rustic outdoor tables, creating a cohesive and inviting dining or socialising area.

Elevate your outdoor space with the Chunky Rustic Outdoor Garden Bench—a piece that encapsulates the beauty of nature and the art of traditional craftsmanship.

Note: Outdoor benches now come with adjustable feet to aid stability on uneven surfaces. 

LEG PLACEMENT

By default, legs are placed approximately 5cm in from the short sides of tables/benches and equidistant from the long sides.

If you would like a different placement (to allow people to sit at the ends of the table, for example), please let the installation team know at the time of delivery. No holes are pre-drilled in the workshop, so leg placement is customisable when we deliver your new piece of Ashford Blake furniture.

WOOD & LEG CHARACTERISTICS

Leg sizes:

  • All Standard Legs: 50x25mm
  • Chunky X Legs: 80x80mm
  • Chunky Tri & Chunky U Legs: 80x40mm

While we make every effort to ensure our product sizes are as listed throughout our website, as this product is bespoke and handmade, there may be minor discrepancies as a result of the handcrafted nature of the fabrication process. All measurements provided have an accepted tolerance of +/- 3cm.

Note regarding material characteristics:

Our bespoke furniture is meticulously handcrafted, utilising natural materials that inherently possess unique characteristics. These qualities contribute to the individuality and charm of each piece. As a result, slight variations in texture, colour, grain patterns, and surface imperfections may be present. These characteristics are not defects but rather part of the inherent beauty and authenticity of the materials we use.

Pictures are only a guide to the general appearance of the furniture. Each article differs in their unique nature in shape, colour and grain. Small cracks, discolorations, indentations, or scratches are absolutely normal in these natural pieces. Wood is a living material that has naturally grown and works accordingly. Every piece is made and customised by hand and by artisans.

Raw Steel Frame/Legs

Our raw steel frame/leg variants possess a natural steel sheen in a muted gunmetal grey tone, accentuated with ground silver highlights at the base and joining areas for a robust, factory-inspired appearance. If you wish to enhance your piece with a painted frame finish, please select a colour option.

Raw steel legs and frames are coated with a clear lacquer to prevent rusting.

CARE GUIDE

Regularly dusting keeps furniture clean and free from debris. Dust particles can accumulate on surfaces, making them look dull and unappealing. By using a soft cloth or a feather duster, you can easily remove the dust and maintain the furniture's pristine appearance.

Using coasters and placemats protects surfaces from heat and spills. Placing hot dishes or cups directly on surfaces can cause damage to the finish or leave unsightly marks.

Clean furniture with only warm water and soap, do not use any chemicals or other products as this may damage the product.

Remember to follow these simple maintenance tips to keep your furniture looking its best:

  • Dust regularly with a soft cloth or feather duster
  • Use coasters to protect against heat damage
  • Place placemats under plates and glasses to prevent stains
  • Clean with only warm water and soap.

Maintenance and Care Tips

Regular dusting keeps furniture clean and free from debris. Dust particles can accumulate on surfaces, making them look dull and unappealing. By using a soft cloth or a feather duster, you can easily remove the dust and maintain your bespoke furniture's pristine appearance.

Using coasters and placemats protects surfaces from heat and spills. Placing hot dishes or cups directly on a wooden dining table can cause damage to the finish or leave unsightly marks. Coasters provide a barrier between the hot items and the wood, preventing any potential harm. Similarly, using placemats helps shield the table from spills or stains that may occur during meals.

Applying furniture polish or wax helps maintain the wood's natural lustre. Over time, wooden surfaces can lose their shine due to exposure to sunlight, moisture, or regular use. To restore its beauty, consider applying furniture polish or wax regularly. These products nourish and protect the wood while enhancing its natural colour and sheen.

Remember to follow these simple maintenance tips to keep your wooden dining table looking its best:

  • Dust regularly with a soft cloth or feather duster
  • Use coasters to protect against heat damage
  • Place placemats under plates and glasses to prevent stains
  • Apply furniture polish or wax periodically for added shine

By incorporating these care practices into your routine, you can enjoy your bespoke wooden furniture for years to come while preserving its elegance and durability.
