Outdoor products will be exposed to a lot more things than indoor products, such as sun and rain, dust and dirt. That is why we at IKEA carefully select suitable materials and finishes for our outdoor products and put them through tough tests, so you can be sure they are durable for outdoor use.

“I wanted to create a bench that encourages relaxing and socialising. The shape of PÄRONHOLMEN is inspired by traditional garden sofas and the colour reminds me of a typical Swedish red cottage. It’s a warm and romantic colour that goes just as well in a garden as on a balcony in the city. I hope that it will entice people outdoors to sit down and chat, relax and spend time together – and that the bench can be enjoyed by many generations."

Acacia is a naturally durable and sturdy hardwood for outdoor use because of the high density of its wood fibers. For maximum protection it’s pre-treated with wood stain. By re-staining now and then you can enjoy it for many years.
