Oxford Garden 5’ Classic Bench
How often do you find yourself thumbing through a catalog or browsing sites on the Internet and call your spouse in the next room to, “quick, come look at this one?” That will be your response when you see the Oxford Garden 5’ Classic Bench. In fact, don’t be at all surprised if, after getting your spouse to stop doing what he or she was doing, that you end up deciding that this is the one for you. You wouldn’t be alone if you had a hard time passing up a piece with such grace and elegance, combined with quality at a price that makes you wonder whether you need to recheck your glasses.
It’s no misprint and your glasses are fine. The classic 5’ bench is as beautiful and sturdy as it appears and it’s available at the price you see before you. Inspired by English gardens, the look that you are having a difficult time describing to your friends is, understated. What makes this bench so stunning is its simplicity. And it’s this same simplicity that allows your bench to be as relevant today as it will be ten years from now.
Oxford Garden 5 Foot Classic Bench
Assuming that longevity is as important to you as having furniture that looks good, you’ll be very pleased with the craftsmanship of anything made by Oxford. For example, what you may think of as being a beautiful back to this bench is far more than that. The dowels used have been carefully and meticulously carved to ensure proper fitting with the top of the bench and the seat. The seat, you’ll notice, is made with slats of wood that are so tightly joined, there’s no way a piece of food can get in between or that over time, a piece will become loose. When looking at the arms and how they meet up with the back of the bench, again, what appears to simply be an elegant design is an example of careful planning to ensure not only that your bench won’t wobble but you’ll also have a comfortable time when sitting. You’ll actually want to use these armrests when you’re reading your book or entertaining guests outside.
All the Romance of an English Garden in Your Backyard
If you have been to England and admired the style of furniture in the gardens, whether public or in people’s homes, you’ve probably longed for one of your very own. For far less than you might believe, you can actually have a piece of England in your backyard. Perhaps you’d prefer to place the classic 5’ bench on your front porch. Wherever you put it, do indeed anticipate many expressions of approval from friends and family who come to visit.
The dimensions of your bench are 35″ H x 60.5″ W x 26.5″ D and it weighs 77 pounds. If you are wondering why a bench this size weighs so much, it’s made of shorea, which is an extremely dense wood. An advantage to using shorea is that it’s very durable, practically repels knicks and scratches and doesn’t have to be a piece that can be seen but not touched. When your bench arrives, it will be stripped down and require assembly. If you follow the easy-to-understand instructions, in less than half an hour, your special person, you and of course your cat, can be enjoying your bench for many years to come.
Whether you first saw a bench like this in England and decided that you wanted one of your very own or you are seeing it for the first time now, for all the reasons stated and many more, you will be infinitely happy with the Oxford Garden 5’ Classic Bench.
