We are delighted to share a momentous occasion in our journey receiving a near perfect score from the respected social media influencer #ratethisbench. Their mission is to honestly assess public benches across the UK, and we are proud to announce that our Scotney Memorial Bench received an outstanding 8/10, believed to be one of the highest scores ever awarded.
This review is a powerful endorsement of Memorial Benches UK's commitment to quality, design and enduring craftsmanship. It validates our motto; In the Face of Deep Loss, Find Comfort and Peace ~ A Lasting Tribute, Crafted with Care and Compassion.
The #ratethisbench Verdict - Serious Big Energy
The influencer's review was overwhelmingly positive, noting how the Scotney bench perfectly complemented its surroundings, saying it was "everything this view deserved". The review praised several key design features that set our benches apart;
"The (memorial) bench was a thing of beauty, well built, beautifully finished and engraved, the back was a great height, it followed the natural shape of the back, the seat had a little curve, solid arm rests and a purpose built concrete base. This is the kind of bench I’d want some day, it’s a great memorial. This had serious big energy. ALL. FOR. IT."
This feedback confirms that when you choose Memorial Benches UK, you are choosing a permanent, high quality and deeply thoughtful memorial.
Memorial Benches Designed for Comfort and Reflection
The Scotney Memorial Bench is one of our most popular designs, engineered specifically for long term comfort and resilience. The review highlighted several of its superior features, which we believe are non negotiable for a permanent memorial;
Ergonomic Design
The back was noted as being a "great height, it followed the natural shape of the back" and the "seat had a little curve". This attention to shape ensures genuine comfort for long periods of quiet reflection.
Solid Build
Praised as "well built" and having a "beautifully finished and engraved" surface, confirming its high-quality construction.
Durability and Stability
The "solid arm rests" and mention of the "purpose built concrete base" (installed by the local authority, but requiring a solid bench) demonstrate the overall permanence of the structure.
Ideal for Remembrance
The ultimate compliment- "This is the kind of bench I’d want some day, it’s a great memorial."
Addressing the Minor Drawbacks
The influencer noted that the bench was not accessible for everyone due to a step and that the location backed onto a road that continuously broke the silence.
While we are unable to control the bench’s location or local accessibility arrangements, we remain committed to offering a wide range of benches that can suit every kind of location and preference. The high score of 8/10, despite these external factors, underscores the exceptional quality of the bench itself.
We thank #ratethisbench for this honour and look forward to continuing to provide memorial benches that offer comfort and peace to families across the UK.
