This bench was donated by a neighbor two years ago, and has suffered a bit under the strain of the seasons and vigorous use by passersby. The seating surface was the first area to go, with cracked branches being progressively replaced by bamboo supports over the last year. Most recently, we’ve lost the second arm some time in the last few days, and it’s less clear how to best replace that — but we’ll try to keep patching it up for as long as we can to maintain this bit of rustic chic.
