I decided to create a bench to fit in one of the corners of the porch with a built-in table for displaying decor. Here’s what I came up with:

[{"selector":"#anim-72717ae8-6282-42d6-a4cb-497e780c0efe","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":2500,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-074c0051-4407-4c58-bc5a-8c35923c0ec4","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(0px, 113.95061%, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2500,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-cd5f7ff1-1bf0-48b1-8c54-f333c3c8c3c5","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":1200,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] Learn more

Overall dimensions for the piece are 40″ long (which could be altered rather easily) on both sides, and the depth of the bench is about 16″.
