A work of art, the branch bench is made from reinforced cast concrete. The French are credited with developing this type of furniture; hence, the French term, faux bois or “false wood”. Over time, hairline cracks may occur, but the steel frames will maintain the integrity of the sculptures for decades. This bench crated weighs 335 lbs. White Glove Delivery included. Variations in color may occur, and the bench may darken over time. Please note: Hairline cracks are normal and do not affect the structural integrity of this furniture. If this is not acceptable for aesthetic or other reasons, we recommend that you buy furniture of a different material. Contact our Furniture Specialist with any questions at 877-422-9688.
