URBAN BENCHES

I totally get it—nobody wants to sit down on a beautiful wooden bench and walk away with a splinter. Yes, we do sell a sanded-down version of our outdoor park bench, and it is designed specifically for comfort and bare-skin contact. Each bench is made from kiln-dried hardwood that is planed, sanded in multiple passes, and finished with rounded edges. After sanding, we apply a weather-resistant sealant that locks the surface and helps prevent raised grain, cracking, and splintering through seasonal changes. The result is a smooth, warm wood surface that still looks natural but feels safe for hands, legs, and kids. If you are placing it in a public park, backyard, patio, or garden, this version is the one I would recommend. It holds up outdoors, requires only basic cleaning, and gives you the classic park bench look without the worry. Let me know if you need a specific length, backrest angle, or mounting style—we can usually customize the sanded finish on any of our standard outdoor bench frames.
