No hardware, just joinery... I designed these benches to use no screws, just really solid joinery, dowel, and glue. They will last a lifetime, perhaps several, and look absolutely gorgeous for a long time to come. 
Both of these matching benches were made of solid reclaimed Cherry and finished with precat. lacquer in a dull finish. I would have preferred to finish them with hand-applied oil, but the client requested lacquer. I'm currently planning to build an identical bench out of reclaimed Black or Claro Walnut with an inset black leather cushion. The bench will likely be 48"-60" long and finished with hand-applied oil and wax. Joinery will be identical to those above. Stay tuned...
