Do you have a picture? Is there anyway to replace the wood and keep it as a bench?

A picture would be helpful but hopefully one of these will work for you.

Thanks, all great ideas!

Hi Rita. You could paint it to go with your decor and bring it indoors to use as a bench at your kitchen table, or put it in your entry way to provide a seat to take off/on your shoes. Good luck Rita. Stay well.

Hello Rita,

Replace the slates with new if damaged . Add seat and back cushions. Cover the seat and back with Deckchair canvas to brighten it up................

Another great idea, thx

Wrought iron can be wire brushed and repainted. The would can easily be replaced or sanded and refinished as well.
