Please note that the listing is for 2no benches complete with base (plinths) and Polished Smooth Top. The polished top features a honed smooth surface, contrasting with the the rugged natural riven edges. Sitting on pedestal plinth feet that are the result of the natural cleavage planes within the slate, that give each piece its natural beauty. The bases are a natural cut and represent the rugged landscape in which they were formed millions of years ago. Please note that every bench will have some variation in texture, shape and grain although they are usually very consistent and will be very similar to the ones in the photos.
