FAQs
How many people can sit on the Zest Emily Bench?
The 5ft bench is designed to comfortably seat up to three adults.
Is the cushion waterproof?
The cushion is showerproof, meaning it resists light rain, but it should be stored indoors during persistent heavy weather.
Can I leave the bench outside all year?
Yes, it is designed for outdoor use, but for maximum longevity, we recommend covering it or storing it in a garage during winter.
What tools are needed for assembly?
Standard household tools like a screwdriver and a wrench are typically all that is required for the included hardware.
Does it match the Emily Table?
Yes, the Zest Emily collection is designed to be cohesive, and the bench pairs perfectly with the Emily range of tables.
Is the cushion machine washable?
Check the care label on the cushion; generally, spot cleaning with a damp cloth is recommended for surface stains.
Troubleshooting
Bench feels wobbly after assembly
Ensure all bolts are tightened evenly and verify that the bench is placed on a completely flat, level surface.
Cushion fabric shows signs of dampness
While the fabric is showerproof, it is not waterproof; bring cushions indoors during heavy rain and allow them to air dry fully if they become wet.
Wood surface is becoming rough or gray
Lightly sand the affected area and apply a fresh coat of outdoor furniture wood oil or preservative.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Assembly is straightforward and typically requires two people to align the backrest with the seat and arm assemblies. Ensure all provided bolts are tightened securely, but avoid overtightening to protect the wood grain. To maintain the life of your bench, apply an annual outdoor wood preservative or stain to prevent drying and cracking. During the winter months, it is highly recommended to move the bench into a shed or garage, or cover it with a breathable furniture cover. The cushion should be kept in a dry, ventilated area when not in use to prevent mold or damp buildup.
