Solid acacia and a reinforced crossbar under the seat give this 43" bench an 800 lb rating, which is what keeps it rigid when two adults sit down at once. The seat sits 17" from the ground, the slatted back and seat allow airflow, and the burr-free sanded surface is smooth to the touch. Ergonomic armrests are set at a natural resting height. Left bare, the wood can be painted to match a porch, patio or garden scheme. Assembly is simple, though the instructions advise aligning all holes before tightening any screws. Net weight 22 lbs.
