Benches

How to Choose a Garden Bench?

The garden is one of the spaces in our home that brings us the most peace. Whether it’s a lush, natural garden filled with plants or a garden with a more original style, having an open space at home doesn’t mean we shouldn’t decorate it to our taste. On the contrary, a garden should be versatile, and the furniture we choose should match both the activities we want to enjoy in the yard and the overall decor of the house.

As with any piece of furniture in your home, you need to consider how you plan to use it. For example, if you’re looking for a bench to take naps in your garden, it's best to choose one with at least a small padded surface. Once you’ve identified its potential uses, pay attention to the material it’s made from.

At The Masie, we not only offer the best materials, but we also place special emphasis on the design of your future furniture. For garden benches, synthetic rattan is one of the most aesthetic and functional materials. This material provides a bohemian yet functional design, perfect for covered outdoor areas.

Terrace Bench: What Should You Consider?

When buying terrace benches, unlike garden benches, it’s important to remember that this is usually a more limited space, so we must prioritize the furniture we truly want to include.

Obviously, an outdoor table is essential for placing drinks, books, or anything else you may need. While garden chairs are a popular choice, designer garden chairs often overshadow the idea of terrace benches. However, benches are ideal if you’re looking to keep your terrace organized and make the most of the space.

In addition, benches can be easily combined with modern stools. At The Masie, we offer a wide range of benches in different designs and materials, including wood, metal, and various types of upholstery. They’re without a doubt a great option to complement your decor and become the envy of all.

Lastly, we also present our wooden benches, made from high-quality organic materials that ensure long-lasting durability and resistance. Their timeless style makes them suitable for any type of decor, and wood never goes out of style—it brings a warm and spacious feeling to any home.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I choose the best location for my bank?

The choice depends on the space and the use you want to give it:

• Hallway or entrance: choose models with storage or compact dimensions (35-40 cm deep) so as not to obstruct the passageway.
• Footboard: The length of the bench should be proportional to or slightly shorter than the width of the bed. Upholstered or well-padded models, like the Eamon, provide comfort and style.
• Living room or dining room: Look for longer, sturdier benches with a seat height of approximately 45 cm, ideal as extra seating or to accompany the table.

What is the maximum weight capacity of the benches?

Strength depends on the design and frame materials. Most models, made of laminated steel or solid rubberwood, are certified to support between 80 kg and 120 kg. You can consult the "Maximum Load Weight" section in each product's technical sheet for exact information.

If I buy a shoe bench, can I also use it as a comfortable seat?

Yes. Shoe benches are designed as multifunctional furniture. The top, with a lid or cushion, is designed for comfortable seating while putting on or taking off your shoes. They also include a lower shelf for shoes and, in some models, a small upper compartment for storing small items.

How do you measure the ideal height of a bench?

Seat height is measured from the floor to the top of the seat. For a comfortable posture, your feet should be flat on the floor and your knees should be at a 90° angle.

Most of our benches have a standard height between 44.5 cm and 47 cm, ideal for most adults, whether in the hallway or living room, or next to a standard table.

Do the benches arrive assembled or do they need to be assembled?

It depends on the model. Most upholstered benches, such as the Jace or Eamon models, require very simple assembly to attach the legs or base. Other models, especially those with metal frames or storage options, may require a little additional assembly. We recommend checking the "Assembly Required" section on the product page to confirm this. All benches that require assembly include a manual with clear, easy-to-follow instructions. You'll have it ready to use in just a few minutes.
