Thank you for asking—it’s a really thoughtful concern, especially with little ones running around. I completely understand your worry about splinters when kids are playing nearby.
To put your mind at ease: our park benches are sanded smooth, not rough. We use a high-quality sanding process that rounds every edge and eliminates any potential splinters before the benches are installed. The finish is designed to be comfortable for sitting and safe for contact—even for curious little hands that might brush against the wood while playing.
We actively test each bench to ensure there are no rough spots or raised grain. The wood is also sealed with a non-toxic, weather-resistant coating that keeps the surface smooth over time, so you won’t get splinters later from wear-and-tear.
So yes—you can let the kids play nearby without worry. If you’d like, I can even show you photos of the benches up close to prove how smooth they are. Safety is our priority, too.
