La Fête 48-Inch Outdoor Bench Ottoman, Modular Marine-Vinyl Seat

The Dash is a 48 in backless bench that seats two adults or doubles as a low coffee table. It is the long edge of the modular family: line two or three up for a built-in look, set one at the foot of a lounge, or place it against a wall for event seating that can be removed in minutes. The marine-grade vinyl cover wipes clean and the unit arrives assembled.

Where to use it

• Along walls, railings and planters on terraces as continuous guest seating
• Hotel lobbies, galleries and spas that need long, low, wipe-clean seats
• Poolside at the foot of a lounge, or as a table for towels, drinks and magazines
• Event layouts where benches combine with Dot and Dot 2 pieces for L-shapes and islands
• Bedroom and cabana settings as a foot-of-bed bench, as the brand photos show

Planning and installation notes

• Allow 18 in x 48 in per bench; two benches end to end measure 8 ft.
• Seat height is 18 in, so allow knee room of about 18 in in front for seating along a wall.
• Benches are 20 lb each, easy for one person to slide but stable enough for everyday use; confirm layouts that sit near pool edges.
• The unit ships assembled, so confirm the box fits the door or gate before delivery.
• Use one vinyl color across Dash, Dot and Dot 2 pieces for a matched look, or pair a neutral bench with an accent cube.
• Add the Arc module for gentle curves; the brand shows it fitting with Dots and Dashes.

Who it is not for

• Anyone who needs a backrest or armrests for extended sitting
• Large groups on its own; one bench seats two adults
• Projects requiring a published weight rating, warranty term or lead time, because none is published
• Buyers who prefer fabric-cushion, wood or woven materials

Care

Wipe with mild dish soap and warm water, then rinse with clear water. For a stubborn mark, use a soft brush with a gentle non-abrasive cleanser and light pressure, because abrasive products can dull the vinyl's protective finish. The brand also sells its own vinyl cleaner and conditioning cream, and a damaged or outdated cover can be replaced.
