[LM_NET] GEN: benches

[Diane Averett <daverett@KERRVANCE.COM>]

Hello Library Furnishings experts!!

After waiting eons (9 years!) we'll finally be moving into a new library space in 
the fall.  I'm in the market for some nice benches for a casual reading area.  I'd 
like something wooden with a back. I serve a daycare-grade 12 population so I'm 
going for adult sizes.

I've found benches in library furnishings catalogs in the $900 range and I've found 
cedar wood benches (designed for outdoor gardens) in the $300 range.

What's your opinion?  Will I be satisfied with a cedar bench (when I can buy 2!) or 
should I spring for the oak library intended bench?

I welcome your opinions and ideas about what has worked well for you.  As always, 
many thanks.
