{"product_id":"friendship-bench-solid-oak","title":"Friendship Bench — Carved Oak School Bench","description":"\u003cp\u003eA hand-carved oak friendship bench for school playgrounds and gardens — built on the simple, powerful idea that any child who needs a friend can sit here, and someone will come.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe friendship bench concept became part of school culture because it makes inclusion visible. It gives children a language — not a conversation they have to start, but a place they can simply be. These benches are commissioned most often by schools, PTAs and parents who want something the children will feel belongs to them: not a flat board on posts, but something carved and particular. The design — flowers, animals, story characters, a school motto — is worked out with the school, and the inscription comes as part of it. Each bench is different because each school is different.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eBuilt from solid oak with three coats of Epifanes matt varnish for all-weather durability, the Friendship Bench seats two comfortably at 120cm wide and is made to live in the school garden, storytelling area or playground for years. \u003cstrong\u003ePrices include VAT.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSolid oak throughout\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBespoke hand-carved design — animals, flowers, story characters or your chosen theme\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePersonalised inscription included — a school motto, a named dedication, or whatever fits\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThree coats Epifanes matt varnish — fully weatherproof\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTwo-seater, 120cm wide\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIdeal for school gardens, playgrounds and storytelling spaces\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\u003eW120 × D60 × H130cm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSeat height approx 45cm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eYour Version\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe design is worked out with you — tell us the theme, the inscription and any specific carving requests.
