Sitting benches are a special structure for long narrow balconies. Because these types of furniture have generally rectangular shapes. Given the material of sitting benches, materials are metal, wooden, and synthetic respectively. Besides, there are even special sitting benches, armrest, and backrest of which are metal but its rest is wooden. Generally, they are available in many places, for example, parks, gardens, seashore, and other public areas. By the way, gabion benches seem to be charming and glaring in gardens and parks as well.
