I hear your worry—splinters are no joke, especially when kids are involved. The good news is that our wood urban benches are specifically designed with children in mind. Each bench undergoes a thorough sealing process that leaves the surface glass-smooth to the touch, with no rough spots or hidden splinters. We use a non-toxic, weather-resistant sealant that bonds deep into the wood grain, preventing any lifting or cracking that could cause irritation.
We also sand every inch of the wood multiple times before sealing, paying extra attention to edges and corners where splinters often form. The final finish is not only smooth but also durable enough to withstand daily use by active kids in parks, schoolyards, or playgrounds.
If you’re still unsure, we encourage you to run your hand over our benches at a showroom or check customer reviews from other parents. Many have told us their toddlers climb on these benches without a single complaint about scratches or slivers. Your child’s safety is our priority—so yes, you can sit back (or let them sit down) with confidence.
