I found this really hard, which is why I asked @dbr to help after seeing some seats he made for a garden in Hackney. I love ours, the larch has been a bit of a pita with some kinda spores or summit which make it a bit speckled. But I just sand it and oil it and looks good.
That said the Palissade bench is dead good, we’ll likely get one this summer to go with table, stools and bench.
Was toying with the idea of getting a couple of these https://www.twentytwentyone.com/products/hay-gerrit-rietveld-crate-lounge-chair

Good price on that for something to sit on. Have you seen these guys? a little more refined, a little more spendy.
Having our rotten deck ripped up tomorrow and replaced with something less bouncy + outdoor kitchen space etc, firing some cheap ikea corner sofa nonsense at it (and grillskar for the kitchen if I ever get a stock alert 🙄); that’s our beachhead into claiming the garden. Then we’ve got the sundowner spot (2 × some kind of chair like the gabion one or your crate), and a bench at the end to be engulfed by wildflower meadow. Should give us something to enjoy over the summer while we continue to resent the house. If the summer ever gets here.

Garden benches. Any recommendations? Happy with a trad wood type but such a variance in quality and price, don’t know where to start and I’m not going straight to Skagerak without asking around. Do I just go for that green Hay palissade?
