Do you offer benches with armrests, and are they included or an add-on?

Ah, a question I hear almost every day from folks who value comfort as much as I do. The short answer is: yes, I absolutely offer benches with armrests. But the longer, more honest answer—the one that really matters—is all about choice.

You see, in my family of benches, each one has its own personality. Some of my models come with armrests as part of their standard outfit. Think of them as the classic, all-inclusive designs—the ones that greet you with open arms (literally) the moment you sit down. For these benches, the armrests are not an afterthought; they are part of the original blueprint, included in the base price. They’re perfect for people who need that extra support when standing up, or for those lazy Sunday afternoons when you want to lean back and feel fully cradled.

But here’s where I get flexible. For other models, especially the more streamlined or minimalist ones, armrests act as a custom upgrade—an optional add-on. Why? Because not everyone wants them. Some spaces are tight, and armrests can make a bench feel too wide. Some folks love the clean, open look of a bench without sides. So instead of forcing armrests onto every design, I offer them as a “bonus feature.” You choose the bench that fits your vibe, and then—if your heart desires—you add the armrests for an extra fee. They clip on, screw in, or bolt securely depending on the model, and I make sure the installation feels as natural as if they were born there.

So, are they included or an add-on? I’ll put it this way: I never sell a bench that feels incomplete. If armrests are crucial to your comfort, I have models that include them by default. If you prefer flexibility, the add-on path lets you decide later. Either way, I promise your elbows will find a friend. Just tell me which kind of friend you’re looking for.
