Folding Benches

Camarillo Wooden Garden Bench

Canora Grey

What we like: Beautiful acacia wood construction is strong and stylish

What we don’t like: No seat cushions included

Resistant to both water and UV radiation, this classically styled folding bench makes an ideal addition to your backyard, patio, or pool area. The frame is made from durably constructed acacia wood that lasts for years with regular care. 

The seat is slatted, reinforced, with a weight capacity of 705 lb. to comfortably seat two adults. The wide curved armrests complement the slightly sloping backrest. While this bench does require assembly, the process is relatively simple.

The folding mechanism is simple and user-friendly when you need to fold the bench to stow or transport it. No seat cushions are included, but the slatted acacia wood seat evenly distributes your weight, so it is comfortable on its own.

Brookes 12” Rectangular Folding Bench

Loon Peak®

What we like: Convenient locking mechanism

What we don’t like: Not weather resistant

This rustic-style folding bench is suitable for various applications, from outdoor dining to adorning your home’s foyer, and complements a farmhouse aesthetic beautifully. The benchtop is crafted from solid pine and provides space for two people.

Once you unfold the sturdily built legs, simply push the pins in to lock them in place. Two heavy-gauge black steel brackets support the seat for added stability.

While you can use this bench outdoors, you should avoid leaving it in the rain because it’s not water-resistant. During inclement weather, fold the bench and place it inside the house or garage, or cover it with a nylon or vinyl furniture cover.

When it’s time to fold the bench, simply retract the locking pins, and the legs fold under the seat, locking securely. Convenient to lock and unlock, this is a stylish and versatile folding bench.

Westport Plastic Garden Bench

Grosfillex Expert

What we like: Low maintenance, easy to clean, and strong

What we don’t like: Price is on the high side

While solid wood offers a warm aesthetic, this foldable bench offers a synthetic alternative to the wooden options on the market that is both durable and visually appealing. 

Boasting superior water and UV resistance than wood, the resin construction is easier to clean and maintain. Simply wipe soiled surfaces with a damp cloth and soap and water. 

This bench can easily accommodate three people and has a maximum weight capacity of 900 lbs., making it a lightweight yet sturdy seating option for a picnic or outdoor festival. 

To add to your outdoor décor, this bench has a deliberately distressed look thanks to the wood scoring and rub through.

Icarus Plastic Picnic Bench

Arlmont & Co.

What we like: Easy to fold, carry, and store

What we don’t like: Limited weight capacity 

This folding dining bench is ideal for picnics and other outdoor gatherings with friends and family and features a rubberized handle for easy carrying. No assembly is required, and it can seat up to four guests. This bench has a maximum weight capacity of 330 lbs. 

This highly portable folding bench is constructed from water- and fire-resistant polyethylene attached to a tubular steel frame and legs and offers a high degree of strength. 

When you need to stow or transport the bench, simply fold the legs underneath to flatten the bench. Once the legs are neatly folded, place the bench on its side to fold it in half to reduce the amount of storage space it takes up. When folded flat, you can easily store the bench under a bed, in a closet, or against a wall.
