The Parker Leaning Bench design is a result of requests from customers looking for a leaning type bench. Our design criteria were to achieve these goals: maximize the materials we currently have in stock (to keep our costs in line), complement our very popular Parker family series, and make it comfortable and stylish. We think we nailed it! The value of leaning benches is that they provide a perfect solution for those who don’t want or need to sit down but need a place to temporarily rest. They also provide an alternative to standing in locations where benches are not feasible.
