Park Bench

The wooden-slat seat found in public spaces everywhere/Everyday Objects

A standard park bench typically seats two to three adults and is made of wood slats on a cast-iron or steel frame. Many designs descend from 19th-century Victorian-era public furniture. Park benches are bolted to concrete pads to prevent theft.
