{"product_id":"rustic-heart-garden-bench","title":"Rustic Heart Garden Bench — Reclaimed Welsh Oak","description":"\u003cp\u003eA rustic garden bench with a heart carved into the back — hand-built from reclaimed oak fence posts and planks gathered from the Welsh valleys, where the wood has already earned its character.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe design uses the reclaimed material honestly: fence posts become legs and stretchers, oak planks form the seat and the back. Nothing is disguised or prettified. The weathering, the grain, the occasional peg hole are part of what makes it this bench and not any other. The carved heart at the centre of the backboard is the one deliberate flourish — because everything else here has already been through enough.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e It belongs against a stone wall, beside a vegetable patch, or at the edge of a field — somewhere it can be used. \u003cstrong\u003ePrices include VAT.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e100% reclaimed oak — fence posts and planks from the Welsh valleys\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHand-carved heart motif in the backboard\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSolid hand-built joinery\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eChoose your finish\u003c\/strong\u003e — supplied unvarnished as standard, or add three coats of Epifanes yacht varnish for lasting colour and sheen (+£50)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTwo-seater, 140cm wide\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHandmade in Mid Wales\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eDimensions\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eW140 × D50 × H110cm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSeat height: 45cm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eYour Version\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAvailable with a personalised inscription carved into the seat back or heart.

Left natural, an unvarnished piece simply silvers over time and asks nothing of you. A varnished piece keeps its rich sheen for a couple of years; after that the varnish may begin to flake or patch, at which point you can simply re-coat it, or let it weather back to that natural silvery-grey. Either way, your oak is fine.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/details\u003e","brand":"FreeRangeDesigns","offers":[{"title":"Unvarnished","offer_id":53500150219127,"sku":"FRD-BEN-WD-1260","price":1900.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"Varnished (+£50)","offer_id":57222615695735,"sku":"FRD-BEN-WD-1260","price":1976.62,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0267\/7673\/1729\/files\/rustic-heart-garden-bench-5858147.jpg?v=1759412222","url":"https:\/\/freerangingdesigns.com\/en-de\/products\/rustic-heart-garden-bench","provider":"FreeRangeDesigns","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
