The wooden bench has mostly vertical slats for the backrest (x 17), with thicker and broader slats to frame the top and bottom of the backrest. There are six wooden slats for the seat part, with a slight 'dished' profile to the seat. There are wooden armrests at either end of the wooden frame. It seems to be 'free-standing' on the paved section of the garden.

The brushed stainless steel plaque has been engraved and etched, and held in place to the top back slat with four stainless steel screws. The plaque reads:
