Extended Product Information
FAQs
Can I leave this bench outside during winter?
Yes, the compressed sandstone is designed for year-round outdoor use and is fully weather-resistant.
Is assembly difficult?
No, the bench comes in three pieces that are designed to fit together easily. However, due to the 80 kg total weight, we recommend having two people assist with positioning.
Does the bench require any sealing?
No sealing is required. The material is naturally dense and durable.
Can I move the bench easily once set up?
Because it weighs 80 kg, it is not designed to be moved frequently. It is best to choose a permanent spot for it.
What is the weight capacity of the bench?
The bench is constructed from solid stone, making it highly durable and capable of supporting two adults comfortably.
Troubleshooting
The bench feels wobbly after assembly.
Check that the surface underneath is perfectly level. You may need to use small stone shims under the base pieces to correct any slope in the ground.
Discoloration or green algae growth on the surface.
Gently scrub with warm water and a mild detergent. Avoid high-pressure washers, which can damage the natural surface texture of the sandstone.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setting up your bench requires selecting a perfectly level, solid surface to prevent wobbling or uneven strain on the stone sections. As the bench arrives in three pieces, it is highly recommended to assemble the unit exactly where you intend it to stay to avoid lifting the full 80 kg mass repeatedly.
Care Instructions:
- Cleaning: Simply rinse with water or use a soft-bristled brush to remove dust and organic debris.
- Winterization: While sandstone is weather-resistant, clearing moss or heavy leaf buildup in autumn helps maintain the stone's appearance.
- Placement: Ensure the ground is firm; use leveling shims if placing on slightly uneven earth to keep the bench structure sound.
