It can provide the look of natural wicker without fading and with moisture-resistant qualities. Aluminum and stainless steel are also great materials if you want something attractive and long-lasting.

If you select a bench that doesn’t have cushions built-in, you can browse our selection of patio cushions and seat padsto add to your garden bench.
