Thank you for your excellent question regarding safety standards for our outdoor benches. Absolutely, yes. Safety and durability are paramount in our design and manufacturing process, especially for furniture intended for public and commercial use.
Our benches are designed to comply with relevant safety and performance guidelines. A key feature you mentioned is rounded edges. We deliberately avoid sharp corners, implementing smooth, rounded edges on all seating surfaces and structural components. This significantly reduces the risk of injury from accidental impacts, making our benches safer for children and adults in high-traffic areas like parks, transit stations, and school campuses.
While there isn't a single universal "law" for all outdoor benches, reputable manufacturers adhere to standards set by organizations like the American National Standards Institute (ANSI) and the Business and Institutional Furniture Manufacturer's Association (BIFMA). Our commercial-grade products are tested for structural integrity, stability under load, and material durability to meet or exceed these rigorous benchmarks. This includes ensuring the bench cannot easily tip over and that all fasteners are secure and tamper-resistant.
Furthermore, we select materials that are not only weather-resistant but also safe. Finishes are non-toxic and designed to withstand UV exposure without hazardous flaking or peeling. The goal is to create a product that remains safe, comfortable, and reliable through years of use in any outdoor environment. When you choose our benches, you are investing in furniture built with proactive safety as a core principle.
