wooden benches

Outdoor sitting planks

Wooden benches are long seats made of wood, typically accommodating multiple people.

They appear in parks, churches, courtyards, and along sidewalks—anywhere people might sit in public or semi-public spaces.

The phrase emphasizes the material, distinguishing from metal or stone alternatives: The old wooden benches in the square needed repainting.
