<p>[QUOTE="Gus Tuason, post: 1375238, member: 10012"]As gregsglass stated. The backs and seats were wooden slats. I bought one set of ends at a garage sale thinking they were old as they had been sitting outside for some time. Nice and rusty. Then I saw a similar bench at one of the big stores brand new. They're very nice reproductions but the slats were made of a poor wood. I went ahead and put oak slats on mine. And yes, I put Linseed oil on it each year to make it last.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
