Practically any garden bench may be termed as rustic, providing that it has a suitably aged patina. Perhaps the most rustic garden bench may be a simple board fastened atop a couple of milk crates, and believe it or not, in certain styles of garden this may actually be quite attractive. More ornate garden benches may be made of the cast iron and these may also be considered rustic depending on the style in which they are made.
