Wooden Bench — Detailed Guide
Seating for a group
This bench is called the Wood Bench in ARK: Survival Ascended and the 
Wooden Bench in ARK: Survival Evolved. The in-game text: "A simple wooden bench for group sitting." It works as decoration on any foundation, and players can sit down on it.
Unlocking and building it
The engram is available from level 19 for 10 engram points, and the 
Wooden Chair is its prerequisite. Benches are crafted in your own inventory, each giving 0.73 XP, from:
- 120
Wood or 
Fungal Wood - 55
Thatch - 45
Fiber
In ASE one craft takes 5 seconds.
Attacks that cannot hurt it
As a wooden structure, the bench takes no damage from bare hands, stone weapons or ranged attacks that are not explosive. The ARK Wiki also names a number of aggressive creatures that cannot harm it, among them the 
Araneo, 
Dilophosaur, 
Raptor, 
Direwolf, 
Sabertooth, 
Thylacoleo and 
Titanoboa.
Weight and loot
Each bench weighs 4 and they stack to 100, so a full stack weighs 400. Our records count 56 crate types that can contain one, such as the Astraeos Blue and Astraeos Desert Blue crates and their bonus versions, and place it on 14 maps.
