{"product_id":"cedar-log-23-end-bench-pair","title":"Cedar Log 23\" End Bench (pair)","description":"The Cedar Log 23\" End Bench comes as a pair — two compact cedar log benches at 23 inches wide apiece. The dimensions are deliberate: this isn't a general-purpose bench, it's a bench built for the ends. The end of a cedar log patio table. The two positions in a dining or picnic arrangement where a bench fits better than individual chairs but a full-length bench would overhang the space. Tight porch corners, garden path accent seating, entry spots where a narrow surface makes more sense than a chair.\n\n\u003cp\u003eBoth benches are built from 100% Northern White Cedar — the naturally rot and insect resistant wood Lakeland Mills has used in Edmore, Michigan since 1923. Mortise and tenon joints at the structural connections. Galvanized exterior hardware throughout. The cedar log profile matches the rest of the Contoured Comfort collection: round log construction, natural cream tone, the visual weight of real wood rather than composite or pressed material.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWhy the material matters even for a small bench: most outdoor accent benches in this size range are built from Chinese fir, which looks like cedar in product photos and costs similar money to manufacture. Chinese fir isn't rot-resistant. A bench that sits outside through real seasons — humid summers, wet falls, hard winters — is in exactly the conditions where that difference shows. Northern White Cedar holds up for 10 to 20 years. It holds fasteners tightly over the full life of the piece. Small outdoor accessories often get the least durable material in a set. These don't.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe pair format makes this a single purchasing decision for both ends of a table or both sides of a seating arrangement. Ships partially assembled — both benches — with all hardware and detailed instructions included. Leave untreated to weather gradually to silver-grey, or apply any outdoor-rated oil, stain, or paint to maintain the original tone or coordinate with a specific finish.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eMade in Edmore, Michigan.
