Just to clear a few things up: This is a prototype piece of garden furniture. Materials: 1.5mm box section aluminium alloy. FSC sourced exterior plywood. Stainless steel and aluminium fixings. Chrome plated steel tubing. The unit weighs just under 30kgs which for its usability i.e. storage space and functionality is deemed acceptable. Please remember that some solid wooden benches weigh a lot more. The plywood is protected with a wax and laquer coating. Most outdoor wooden furniture needs a little care and attention every now and then and the Rox bench is no exception. In terms of moisture ingress, the base of the unit has small feet raising it from the ground and it is recommended that it is kept on a flat surface with reasonable drainage. The corner pieces are glued in with an exterior glue, flush with the aluminium. The RRP is £800. This is due to a relatively high assembly cost (It comes pre-assembled) and the selection of materials are obviously quite expensive.....metal isnt getting any cheaper at the moment, thanks China ;) If you did want a cheaper version (obviously aesthetics are heavily affected) then you could expect to pay around £600 for a HDPE version, still keeping the chrome tubing and metal fixings. It is designed to be manufactued in the first year with a small batch quantity of 5000. It was designed to push the boundaries of what garden furniture can do, and to help those of us who have small gardens where high quality space saving furniture is useful and from user research, quite desired.

Is it pre-fabricated or supplied flat pack? is the wood fsc? is it S/Steel or Ali? What measures are taken to prevent moisture ingress? .

Few more Questions?

Is it pre-fabricated or supplied flat pack?
is the wood fsc?
is it S/Steel or Ali?
What measures are taken to prevent moisture ingress? . (I assume one of the tables surfaces is on the floor when it is used as a storage device)..

I like the aesthetics, especially the ply table tops! It looks like is is made from aluminum box section, a lot lighter than cast iron garden furniture equivalents.

Carl is obviously aggrieved that a unit of this quality and fantastic deisgn is way out of his budget. The bench looks fantastic.
