That's an excellent question! When it comes to our most popular model of outdoor benches—the Classic Heritage Park Bench—the back height is carefully designed for optimal comfort and support. It measures 18 inches (approximately 46 centimeters) from the seat to the top of the backrest.
This 18-inch dimension isn't arbitrary. Our design team found it to be the sweet spot that provides substantial lumbar and lower-back support for most adults, whether you're enjoying a quick break or relaxing for an extended period. It's high enough to offer a comfortable lean without being so tall that it feels imposing or blocks scenic views. The gentle, contoured curve of the back follows the natural shape of the spine, promoting good posture.
Crafted from durable, weather-resistant hardwood or powder-coated aluminum, the back is both sturdy and aesthetically pleasing. This height pairs perfectly with the standard 18-inch seat height, creating a balanced and ergonomic profile that has made this bench a favorite for parks, garden pathways, and residential patios alike. It’s the ideal blend of classic style and everyday comfort.
