Distinctive bench styles
Each of our bench designs caters to different aesthetic preferences and outdoor environments. From contemporary to traditional, the ranges appeal to all tastes, but a few designs stand out as signature styles.
The Broadfield Bench
The Broadfield bench is a design classic. With clean, simple lines and a slightly curved backrest, it prioritises comfort while offering a traditional aesthetic. Available in different sizes, it’s a versatile option for any garden and makes an ideal seating solution for families or chatting to friends.
The high-back bench
Alexander Rose pioneered the high-back bench in 1998, creating an enduring design that has since become a garden classic. Featuring an extended backrest, this bench provides excellent support and comfort while exuding a regal, elegant style. The high-back design is perfect for those who enjoy a more upright seating position, making it as comfortable as it is beautiful. Its timeless appeal and unique proportions have earned it a place as one of Alexander Rose’s most iconic benches.
The Turnberry, our curved back slatted bench
Another innovation by Alexander Rose is the Turnberry bench. First introduced in the late 1990s, it is one of our most sought-after benches. The design marries form and function, with the curved back providing enhanced ergonomic support while the slatted seat and backrest allow for airflow, ensuring comfort even during warmer months. Its sleek lines and sculpted silhouette have made this bench a design favourite, and it can be found in gardens across the UK and beyond.
The New England Bench
For those who prefer a lighter, more contemporary look, the New England bench is a perfect choice. This bench stands out with its elegant, white-painted finish, offering a fresh and modern take on traditional garden furniture. With its slatted back and simple, refined lines, the New England bench is ideal for those looking to brighten up their garden with a more polished, clean aesthetic. While made from hardwood, its white finish gives it a coastal, breezy appeal, perfect for seaside gardens or anyone seeking a light, minimalist design.
Long-lasting hardwoods
One of the defining features of Alexander Rose benches is the use of high-quality hardwoods. These woods are not only chosen for their aesthetic beauty but also for their durability and ability to withstand the elements. Alexander Rose uses two types of hardwood for their benches: Roble and Acacia.
Roble benches
Roble is a light, honey-coloured hardwood sourced from our sustainable forests in Bolivia. Known for its exceptional strength and durability, Roble is highly resistant to all weather conditions, making it an excellent choice for outdoor furniture. Over time, Roble weathers beautifully into a soft, silver-grey patina, adding character to the bench without compromising its structural integrity. The beautiful wood complements many garden settings and is a popular choice for many customers.
Acacia benches
Acacia is one of the most celebrated hardwoods in the world, known for its durability to withstand extreme weather conditions. Sourced from carefully managed forests, Acacia has a natural oil content that helps it resist water, pests, and rot, ensuring that it lasts for decades. Its golden-brown colour eventually weathers into a distinguished silver-grey, giving the bench a rustic yet refined appearance as it ages gracefully in your garden.
The benefits of a hardwood garden bench
Investing in a hardwood garden bench from Alexander Rose is more than just acquiring a piece of furniture; it’s making a long-term investment in quality, comfort, and style.
Even with minimal maintenance, these woods are built to last for decades, making your bench a lasting feature in your garden which will never go out of style.
All our hardwoods are sustainably sourced from responsibly managed forests so you can be sure of supporting eco-friendly practices and making a positive environmental impact.
When you invest in an Alexander Rose bench, you’re not just buying a seat—you’re bringing home a piece of craftsmanship that will enhance your garden for years to come.
