Oxford Garden 5’ Backless Bench
From the first time you see the Oxford Garden 5’ Backless Bench, images of it sitting in front of your queen or king sized bed might spring to mind. Perhaps with a second glance, you’ll find that it makes a great addition to your existing patio furniture. But then as you continue looking at it, you might think to yourself, “that would look great in the mud room. It’ll really liven things up in there.”
If it could be described as a problem, sometimes looking at furniture that is as great looking as it is functional, means that if only for a moment, you have difficulty figuring out the best use for it. This of course isn’t really a problem because if you’re like most people, you bring it home, you place it in the “intended spot” and then when you need to move it for one reason or another, you just do so. For example when company arrives, you can move it outside to add more seating.

Now that you’ve figured out how best to utilize it, you might wish to know more about this Backless Garden Bench. There are a lot of qualities that make this a special piece of furniture. The craftsmanship that goes into making anything manufactured by Oxford is the result of years of experience and pride in their work. For example, the slats of wood in the seat are tightly fastened to each other – with nary a space in between. While you might see this as another example of the bench’s beauty, it will soon become apparent that it’s also about comfort. When you’re sitting down, your legs and bottom aren’t being pinched, which so often happens in lower-end benches.

To guarantee a smooth landing, the legs are fastened both to the foundation and to one another. Even if you tried, you couldn’t make this bench wobble.
