Ordered my front porch bench! It is protected where it will be and I think I’m not going to use the bench pad - because I don’t like it (also how will it EVER stay white, even protected!)
It fits the modern, with-some-personality look I wanted. A giant pot of flowers next to it, it will (hopefully) be great!
