A bench is a
piece of furniture, on which several people may sit at the same time. Benches
are typically made of wood, but may also be made of metal, stone, or synthetic materials.
Many benches have arm and back rests; some have no back rest and can be sat on
from either side. In American public areas, benches are often donated by
persons or associations, which may then be indicated on it, e.g. by a small plaque.
Benches are used both outdoors and indoors. Aluminum benches are often found in
outdoor, sideline settings at recreational venues like sports fields or courts
and as a compliment to bleacher systems. The material affords for a
lightweight, corrosive-free bench, so it is a portable and economical option
for indoor or outdoor settings. Source
