Although the striking blue painted finish is most attractive to this bench, it resonates with exceptional construction features. The simple design elements are highlighted with a back rest that is slightly canted for comfort, a heavy rounded molding that caps the upper edge of the back rest and end supports,and a central leg mortised through the seat.
