What is the most durable outdoor bench?
There is no single most durable outdoor bench. Aluminum, steel and cast iron can all make for strong, sturdy benches, but other factors like how well you maintain a piece and the quality of the craftsmanship will affect how long a particular piece lasts. On 1stDibs, shop a variety of outdoor benches.
