This Alexander Rose Broadfield Bench is perfect for gardens, golf clubs, restaurants & contract use. The Bench comes flat packed & will require some small assembly. This should only take about 10 minutes & will require a maximum of 2 people. The Mahogany wood used to manufacture this bench will weather extremely well. If you decide the leave the bench untreated it will naturally turn from brown to silver over 2/3 years. If you wish to keep the bench brown we suggest cleaning / protecting the bench twice a year & using a bench storage cover during the winter months. Alexander Rose takes great care sourcing their Mahogany timbers from Ghana & are committed to only sourcing timber from well managed forests. As with all our furniture, we advise you to wash it regularly to stop the dirt getting trapped in the open grain & causing discolouration to the wood. The back & seat of this bench have been ergonomically shaped to make sitting for long periods of time more comfortable. However we do recommend using a bench cushion if you intend to sit on the bench regularly. This bench has been designed & manufactured by Alexander Rose. By buying an Alexander Rose product you are guaranteed of quality, design & ethical standards. Please see our treatment guide for more information about looking after your garden bench. When not in use we recommend you cover your bench as this will extend the life expectancy & maintain is original state. For our cover suggestions p
