Loll Designs Picket Bench

HDPE stands for high-density polyethylene, a robust plastic derived from recycled milk jugs. It is incredibly dense and weather-resistant, meaning it won't rot, splinter, or fade like wood, and it can stay outside year-round without needing to be covered.

At 60 pounds, the Picket bench has a solid, substantial feel that keeps it stable in most residential settings. While it is heavy enough to resist being blown over by typical breezes, you may want to place it on a level surface to ensure maximum stability.

The armless design is intentional, prioritizing versatility and a clean, modern aesthetic over traditional armrests. While it lacks side support, the low back provides enough structure for comfortable upright seating, and the open sides make it easy to sit down or stand up from any direction.

Very little. Because the material is non-porous and color-fast, you don't need to paint, stain, or seal it. A simple wipe-down with soap and water is all that is needed to keep it looking new.

The bench arrives flat-packed and requires assembly, but it is designed to be straightforward. You will need basic tools to connect the pre-drilled components, and most people can complete the process in about 30 to 45 minutes.
