Classic. Perfect for our application of using it as a memorial bench to mount a bronze memorial plaque on. The bench is solid cast iron; the iron won't cause a chemical reaction to the bronze. The site location is in a small area surrounded by mature hardwood trees and flowers. The bench's back pattern of leaves provided easy mounting of the plaque and, the design lends well to the surrounding trees.

The first cast iron bench I purchased several years ago. It still looks like new. At 100 pounds it won't blow over. It's comfortable and room for two people.
