WHAT SETS THE ORIGINAL APART
Many butterfly benches look similar. The difference is how they’re made.
Each Cricket Forge bench is shaped from steel and built by hand in North Carolina, one piece at a time by skilled craftsmen. It’s a difference you can see — and one you’ll live with for decades.
BUILT DIFFERENTLY FROM THE START
Many benches rely on fasteners, assembly, or parts that loosen over time. Ours are shaped, welded, and finished by hand, built as one complete piece from the start.
WHAT GOES INTO EVERY BUTTERFLY BENCH
HANDCRAFTED PROCESS
Each bench is shaped and built by hand, not stamped or produced on an assembly line. Every piece is made individually from start to finish.
AMERICAN CRAFT
Built in the United States by skilled metalworkers, each bench reflects the care, experience, and judgment of the people who make it.
STRUCTURAL INTEGRITY
Fully welded steel construction creates a complete structure from the start, designed for long-term strength and everyday outdoor life.

Designed to belong anywhere
Perfect for gardens, entryways, memorial spaces, and thoughtfully designed landscapes. The bench is meant to hold attention without overwhelming the space around it.
This isn’t background furniture. It’s the piece people stop for.
Made for those who know the difference
This bench is for people who value craftsmanship over convenience and prefer to buy something once and live with it for years. It’s for those who care where things are made and who want something with real character.
It isn’t meant for everyone. Only for those who understand the difference.
