What We Like: Heavier cast-iron build

What We Don’t Like: Limited to a few styles

Not So Good For: Open and exposed gardens

Perfect For: Nautical home themes

Resistant to UV, water, and rust, this garden bench is made of cast iron metal and painted blue. It features fish and a seahorse on its full metal backrest, hexagon fish fin patterns on the curvy seat, and curled armrests and front legs.

Although this is an outdoor bench, its paint will last longer if you place it below a covered area, like a gazebo or pergola. Add white and cool navy-blue pillows for a cozy vibe. Lush plants in large glossy ceramic pots placed on each side of the metal bench will give it a robust appearance.
