Is this bench suitable for all-weather use?
Yes, the Samuel Alexander Garden Bench is constructed with durable fir wood and cast iron designed for outdoor conditions. However, for extended longevity and to maintain its appearance, we recommend regular cleaning and applying a wood sealant periodically, especially in harsh climates. Covering it or storing it indoors during extreme weather conditions is also beneficial.

Troubleshooting
Bench feels wobbly after assembly
Ensure all bolts and screws are securely tightened. Sometimes, components settle after initial use; re-tightening fasteners after the first few days can improve stability. Also, check that the bench is on a level surface.
Wood is fading or showing signs of weathering
This is natural for outdoor wood. Apply a suitable outdoor wood sealant or stain, following the product manufacturer's instructions. Regular application will help protect the wood and restore its appearance.
Rust spots appearing on cast iron
Gently clean the affected area with a wire brush or fine-grit sandpaper to remove loose rust. Then, apply a rust-inhibiting primer and touch-up paint specifically designed for outdoor metal furniture.
Missing parts during assembly
Carefully check all packaging materials. If parts are genuinely missing, contact customer support with your purchase details and the specific part numbers needed from the assembly manual.
Difficulty aligning holes during assembly
Do not fully tighten any fasteners until all major components are loosely assembled. This allows for slight adjustments. If a hole is still misaligned, check if pieces are oriented correctly according to the manual.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup
The Samuel Alexander Garden Bench is supplied flat-packed and requires self-assembly. All necessary hardware and instructions are included.

A second person may be helpful for aligning larger pieces.

Care & Maintenance
To ensure the longevity and appearance of your garden bench:
- Cleaning: Wipe down regularly with a damp cloth to remove dirt and dust. Avoid harsh chemical cleaners that may damage the wood or finish.
- Wood Care: While fir wood is naturally durable, applying a wood sealant or stain periodically (e.g., annually or bi-annually depending on climate) can protect it from moisture, UV damage, and maintain its aesthetic.
- Cast Iron Care: The cast iron components are designed for outdoor use but can benefit from occasional cleaning to prevent rust. If rust spots appear, they can often be treated with a wire brush and then touched up with rust-inhibiting paint.
- Winter Storage: In regions with harsh winters, consider covering the bench or storing it in a sheltered area (e.g., shed, garage) to extend its lifespan.
- Weight Limit: Adhere to the maximum weight capacity of 150kg to prevent structural damage.
