Thank you for asking this important question! We completely understand your concern about splinters - it's something we take very seriously in our park design.
Yes, we can assure you that every wooden surface on our park benches undergoes a thorough, multi-step finishing process. Each bench is meticulously hand-sanded using progressively finer grits of sandpaper until the wood achieves a silky-smooth texture that's pleasant to touch. Following this careful preparation, we apply multiple coats of a high-quality, outdoor-rated sealant that penetrates deep into the wood fibers. This sealing process not only prevents splintering but also protects against moisture damage, UV rays, and general wear from public use.
Our maintenance team conducts regular inspections of all seating areas, and we promptly address any benches that show signs of wear. Your comfort and safety are our top priorities, and we're committed to providing public furniture that families can enjoy without hesitation. Feel free to relax and enjoy your time in our parks - we've taken every precaution to ensure your seating experience is both comfortable and completely splinter-free.
