Mine are looking great! One armrest has a small crack in it, because that part is exposed to more rain and direct sun than the rest. I used cedar, which is weather resistant naturally. Then I stained them with an outdoor stain meant for wooden decks, which protected them further. Next summer, I'll put another coat of stain on the horizontal pieces that have faded slightly, but other than that they've been maintenance free!

Would you might sharing an update on how these are holding up to the elements? I have a friend who made an outdoor table and bench and within a year it is cracking and warped and looks terrible. What do you recommend sealing it with?

I have been looking for a bench to put under out window where the kids playground used to be. Pinned.

The cushions are pretty overstuffed and firm. You could add extra 2x4's to the back for more support. I usually end up moving the back cushions to the side and using it like a huge pillow so I can lie down and read outside anyway! 🙂

Is the cushion firm enough to support your back for long term lounging?
