The Commander 3-foot Storage Bench will dazzle any setting, and it will protect the items you choose to put in it. This highly durable, cedar storage bench naturally repels insects and weather damage. You can select a non-glossy, "Clear Coat" finish to delay the weathering process or leave it untreated with the "Natural" option to let the cedar weather naturally to silvery grey patina.
This bench doubles as storage and as an extra seat. With waterproof glue, epoxy-coated screws, and stainless-steel hinges, we are confident our Commander Storage Bench will far exceed your stringent quality standards. Simple assembly is required.
What is the difference between the natural and clear coat finish?
Over time and with exposure to the outdoor elements, cedar will turn a lovely silver grey color as it ages. If you enjoy the fresh, natural color of cedar and would like your storage bench to weather naturally, you should select the "Natural" finish option.
The "Clear Coat" finish is a non-glossy, linseed oil-based sealer that we apply to the bench's exterior to protect it from the elements and prolong the weathering process. To allow the cedar to breathe and fully retain its natural insect-repelling properties, we leave the inside of the bench untreated, thus the interior of a clear-coated bench will appear slightly lighter than the outside. Clear-coated cedar will assume an attractive pale yellow color as it ages.
