Hey there, great question—and a totally reasonable one. Nobody wants to see rust spots on a brand-new outdoor bench.
Here’s the straightforward answer: Yes, our outdoor benches come with a 1-year limited warranty that covers manufacturing defects, including premature rusting. So if the metal starts to rust within the first 12 months due to a flaw in the paint, coating, or weld, that’s on us. You won’t have to pay a dime for a replacement or a repair.
That said, there’s a small but important catch—and I want to be honest with you. The warranty covers internal or coating defects, not surface rust caused by normal weather exposure or accidental scratches. For example, if you scrape the bench while moving it and moisture gets in, that’s considered misuse. But if you see rust bubbling up from under the paint without any visible damage, that’s a definite warranty claim. We’ll send you a new bench or refund you, depending on your preference.
Also, the warranty applies only to the original buyer and requires proof of purchase. So keep that receipt or order confirmation handy.
A friendly tip: To keep your bench looking great even longer, try to give it a light coat of rust-resistant spray every couple of years—especially if you live in a humid or coastal area. But honestly, with proper care, many of our customers enjoy their benches for 5 to 10 years without major rust issues.
Bottom line: We’ve got your back for the first year. If rust shows up earlier and it’s clearly a factory issue, we’ll replace it, no hassle. Feel free to reach out to our support team if you want to check your specific model or need a warranty claim form.
