Thank you for your important question regarding the safety standards of our outdoor benches. We take product safety and durability extremely seriously, which is why our entire collection of outdoor benches is designed and manufactured to comply with rigorous international safety and performance standards.
Primarily, our commercial-grade outdoor benches are tested to meet key sections of the ANSI/BIFMA X5.4 Furniture Standard for Outdoor Seating. This involves comprehensive testing for structural integrity, stability, and durability under simulated real-world conditions. Benches undergo static load tests to ensure they can safely support their rated weight capacity and stability tests to prevent tipping.
Furthermore, we prioritize user safety through meticulous material selection. All metals are either corrosion-resistant aluminum or powder-coated steel to prevent rust and sharp edges. We use premium, thermally modified wood or recycled plastic lumber that is naturally splinter-resistant and doesn't require chemical treatments. All fasteners are recessed or capped for a smooth, snag-free surface.
For added peace of mind, our benches are also rated for commercial use in public spaces, parks, and transit areas, ensuring they can withstand constant, heavy-use environments. We are committed to delivering not just aesthetically pleasing, but fundamentally safe and long-lasting outdoor furniture for your community.
