WROUGHT IRON DESIGN: The attractive decorative style of ornamental wrought iron conceals its strength. The ornate and elaborate scrolls are joined together in a complex lattice pattern which provides great strength and rigidity while at the same time providing a pleasing appearance. Long before modern engineering this traditional process achieved impressive strength to weight ratios. As a result many wrought iron artifacts have survived for centuries. This vintage style furniture is surprisingly strong considering the weight. Although traditional wrought ironwork by a blacksmith is rare nowadays, following advances in steel manufacturing, many of the principles have survived in modern wrought iron design which reflects centuries of making wrought iron furniture, fencing and gates.
MINIMAL ASSEMBLY: This attractive vintage bench features a clever design which ensures that minimal assembly is required. The bench is fully assembled in the factory with four rigid prefabricated panels, which are hinged together and folded flat for safe and efficient transport and handling. All that is required on site to complete the assembly is to unfold the panels and tighten one bolt on each side, so just two bolts in total. Substantial hinges ensure that the finished bench is rigid and strong. The hinged design is at least as strong as flat-packed alternatives. In most cases the bench is never folded again, but should you ever need to transport it somewhere in the future it is equally easy to loosen the bolts and fold it flat ready for transport.
ANTIQUE DISTRESSED FINISH: This attractive and elegant vintage style garden furniture includes an authentic distressed look which is often described as rustic, antique finish or shabby chic. This popular style is very much in vogue. The antique distressed finish is more difficult to create than a brand new gloss finish. The surface of the paint is altered to provide an aged appearance which compliments the traditional wrought iron design. The process to create the distressed finish includes brushing with an antique bronze colour. An inevitable feature of the antique finish is minor imperfections including scratches and marks, occasional bare spots and a smattering of bronze coloured streaks and specks which are a similar colour to rust. None of these features are defects and all add to the charm of this popular furniture. The antique distressed finish does not affect the durability.
