Take a leisurely drive through the beautiful Chittering Valley just over an hour North of Perth, and just before you hit Bindoon you’ll find a very unique furniture manufacturer. Aussie Benches Australian heritage is obvious from their name, and from the workshop and retail store on the family business’s modest rural property.
You need to be pretty tough to survive Australia’s harsh conditions, and early Australians really had to do everything the hard way – by hand. And this unique outdoor furniture has just what it takes to survive our tough climate because it was built the old-fashioned way – by hand.
Every piece of furniture here at Aussie Benches is individually hand-crafted from prime grade WA timber, so you know that the timber is suited to our conditions. And just as with all good craftsmanship, the proof is in the finish. Every piece to leave the Aussie Benches workshop is finished to perfection; a soft-edge finish both top and bottom ensures a safe and soft to touch surface.
The timber is then finished in a Pearl finish wood stain that gives the furniture an elegant, classy sheen without changing the natural look of the timber. It’s a waterborne stain with Iron Oxide for UV protection, and because its wax based it offers superior protection against water damage, and Aussie Benches are one of only two Linea Blu finishes in WA.
Every piece in the Aussie Benches range can also be mixed and matched. Settings can be made up with all Bench Seating or individual arm-chairs. And depending on the size of your family, you can choose a small, medium, large, very large or even a square table. Hours of careful work go into every piece in the Aussie Benches range.
Why not take the family for a drive this weekend and check out Aussie Benches range. They’re at 20 Teal Place, Chittering. Just take the Great Northern Highway and turn left into Hart drive.
