Tree Bench
A beautiful addition to any garden or arboretum, this metal tree bench adds a touch of legacy among ever changing landscapes.
Handcrafted, Built to Last
Forged in Durham, NC nearly 30 years ago, we’re still doing things the way they should be done: handcrafted, built to last. We don't just crank stuff out; we put our sweat and skill into every piece we make. Crafting products that withstand the demand of salt, wind, and sun, and other forces of nature like rogue squirrels and toddlers with melting ice cream cones.
Why "Cricket Forge"?
Many cultures view the presence of a cricket in the household as a symbol of good luck, where the cricket is the bearer of wealth, companionship, and happiness. The “Cricket on the hearth” scenario is usually experienced in colder months, where crickets often seek warmth indoors, sometimes on or near a fireplace. The “Forge,” aspect is in reference to the crickets that tend to hang around the recently-used blacksmith forges in the Cricket Forge shop.
Customer Reviews
I had visited and longed for this bench at an art gallery in Door Co WI for 7 years. Early in the pandemic during the lockdown I gave in and purchased it. I love sitting on it every day - dreaming off in the sun, watching the bees and butterflies. It has always reminds me of Bilbo’s party tree in The Hobbit. My neighbors admire it. It is comfortable for one at two, and after 4 years looks same as new. Admittedly it is a luxury price bu if I amortize the 4.5 years (48 months x 30 days) the cost is less than a drive by coffee and I have years ahead of me! I would give it a 10 star if I could. This week it doubles as a spooky forest with pumpkins.
We have had this bench for six years in the exterior entry area of our home. It continues to bring me joy every day when I get home, and delights our visitors as well. It is so well made and will last for the next generation
