The 10 Best Wooden Benches

Updated November 10, 2018 by Sam Kraft

This wiki has been updated 16 times since it was first published in November of 2018. If you simply need a place to park your keister, just flip over a five-gallon bucket. A quality wooden bench is more than that — it’s a classic element of decor that can seamlessly tie a room together or enhance an outdoor space; it’s a functional piece of furniture that can double as a storage solution; and, yes, it’s a place where you can comfortably kick back and relax after a long day. When users buy our independently chosen editorial picks, we may earn commissions to help fund the Wiki.

Editor's Notes

November 07, 2018:

The Plow & Hearth Lutyens is one of the few available models that folds up, which is a useful feature for those who plan to use it seasonally or on special occasions. Also made sure to identify some options with built-in storage, which is something the Safavieh Isaac and Alaterre Sonoma offer.
