Garden benches are benches that have low sunk seats and are used by people, who like to sit and enjoy the serenity or their gardens. Garden benches can either have back rests or be backless. The backless ones are the most simple and versatile benches. Backless garden benches usually have the lower points of their seats directly in the centre so that one can be allowed to enjoy an open view in all directions without any obstruction. These benches are very comfortable inspite of being without a backrest and give a nestled effect to the sitting.

Most backless benches are made of naturally available materials like cedar, bamboo, stone or teak that helps in giving them a natural look, which is usually in synchronization with the feel of the garden. These benches are made of naturally available materials because their main aim is to beautifully fit in the gardens, without looking out of place. As a result of their being made of naturally available materials, these are mostly weather resistant and can endure all the hardships inflicted upon them due to adverse weather conditions. Stone backless garden benches tend to last longer than the ones made out of wood, as the latter tends to disintegrate over a period of time and may get spoiled. Stone backless garden benches on the other hand are sturdier and do not break easily. Backless garden benches are also comparatively easier to store as they do not occupy as much space as the ones with a back would.

The prices of backless garden benches depend mainly on the materials used for its construction. In case of wood benches, prices are comparatively lower, whereas for pieces made of harder substances such as stone, granite or marble, the prices tend to be higher. Some of the backless garden benches that are made out of manmade materials or metals are usually cheaper. Prices may range between $150 and $500.
