Yes—I’m glad you asked, because this is one of the features people often assume is custom-only. In reality, our street bench range includes several models with armrests that double as a small table. It’s a practical design for public spaces, and we offer it in a few different configurations.
The most common option is an end armrest that has been widened and flattened into a small table surface. It’s not a flimsy add-on; the table top is integrated into the bench frame, so it feels solid and doesn’t wobble. The surface is large enough for a coffee cup, phone, book, or small shopping bag, but compact enough that the bench still reads as a streetside bench rather than a picnic table.
We also have models with a centre armrest that works as a small shared table. These are popular for transit stops and busy pedestrian areas. The centre table gives people a defined seating zone while providing a flat spot to put a drink or ticket. It can also help prevent the bench from being used as a bed, which is something some councils ask about.
For accessible public spaces, I usually recommend the end table versions with a slightly broader surface. The flat top is easier to grip than a rounded rail, and it gives older people or wheelchair users a convenient place to rest items within reach. If the bench is near a footpath, the table armrest can also act as a visual and physical cue that marks the end of the seating area.
Materials depend on the model. Our standard outdoor versions have galvanised steel frames with a powder-coated finish, and the table surface is either powder-coated steel, stainless steel, or FSC-certified hardwood. Wood-topped armrests are popular in parks and garden settings because they feel warmer in summer, while metal surfaces tend to be specified for high-traffic streets because they’re easier to clean. All exposed edges are rounded or bevelled for safety.
If you’re working with a specific layout, we can often adapt the configuration. For example, you might want a 1.8-metre bench with a table armrest on one end and a standard armrest on the other, or a longer bench with a centre table. We also offer surface-mounted and free-standing versions, as well as different coating colours to match existing streetscape furniture.
So yes, we definitely have them. If you can share where the bench will be installed and who will use it most, I can recommend the most suitable model from the range.
