The Bench and matching table are made from Ohio Cypress. The bench has no screws or nails but is held together with the pegs that you can see on the side. It easily breaks down into four pieces; the back, the seat, and the two ends. We make these benches in a variety of woods including wood that is suitable for outdoor use. The matching table is available separately. We will be happy to make you a bench to your specifications for size and type of wood. Pick up is recommended for this bench and table but shipping can be arranged if needed.
