You'll love these versatile stools and benches - we find them to be indispensable everywhere in our homes and yards. And you can feel confident that you are doing your part to support our environment with these eco friendly choices!

Hand crafted in the rolling hills of Maine and in Canada, our stools and benches are lovingly built of quality cedar, a strong, durable wood that requires no finish or chemical treatment to withstand the elements.  Read more about the advantages of cedar.

Not only is this beautiful furniture built in North America, the wood is locally grown and sustainably harvested here too! 

Features of Our Cedar Stools and Benches

  • Earth friendly, 'green' manufacturing processes using only sustainably harvested wood.
  • Local sourcing of wood reduces carbon footprint from transportation.
  • Left unfinished, cedar will typically provide 15 to 25 years of use outdoors.
  • Our cedar, natural and untreated (why is this important?), is grown in moist swampy New England woodlands.
  • Cedar absorbs and loses moisture slowly, which minimizes the dry cracking, splintering and swelling more characteristic of oak or pine.
  • Cedar has the US Forest Products Laboratory's highest rating for decay and disease resistance.
  • Fresh cedar odor is a mild insect repellent.
  • Our cedar products are shipped in their natural color, pale tan or light gold.  The color changes evenly over time to a silver gray.  Water-based or oil stains will delay the weathering process while preserving the natural wood grain.  If you choose to paint, use a latex paint which will coat evenly and let wood breathe.
  • Superb craftsmanship.
  • Furniture includes all necessary hardware.
  • Assembly required
  • Develops a weathered, silver grey patina in one year for most climates.
  • Ships direct from the manufacturer in Rhode Island or Maine.
  • Free shipping to the continental US!

Shipping:

Most of our hand crafted furniture ships within 1 to 3 business days direct from the manufacturers via UPS Ground. A few items take a bit longer - see the individual product pages for more specific lead times.
