Not a fan of cinder blocks. Maybe for a fire pit if you have some to use. Find some pallets separate and can use wood to make a more natural outdoor bench.
You can start by searching sites such as Pinterest. Here’s a pretty one I found:

Hi D :)

Remember you can make it any size you want!
Stack two cinderblocks on top of each other, do this on the other side. Slip a wooden board in the holes in the stack of blocks.
I made a cinder block bench at our last house and I loved it! And you can make them about any size, shape, etc. I made mine so that I had some cinder blocks holes showing so that I could plant flowers in them. You can also spray paint the cinder blocks to give it color! Have fun and share a picture when you're done. :)
I can’t wait to build it! I will post a pic Thank you. 😎 D.
So glad, and yes you're right, perfect for a fire pit! I might just have to come visit you! I'll bring a bottle of wine and some marshmallows!
