as part of our garden renovation, we had our bluestone moved from the perimeters in order to form a nice patio and a step up to the back of the garden. We have one piece of bluestone left which will make a nice top for a two-seater bench in the back. Problem is, the landscaper set it on bricks which is uneven and wobbly. All I can imagine is my kids’ toes getting crushed.
Anyone have a suggestion as to where to find two even pedestals that could serve as a nice and safe base for the bluestone? Weird question I know. Thanks in advance.
Get your mason to custom build you some matching pedestals,That is cool
Go to some salvage places with the dimensions, and you may find something out of cast iron or some other sturdy, weather-resistant material that would work perfectly as a base.
We also used cobblestones purchased at Home Depot. Had to search for the most even ones but they are inexpensive and easy.
yes I know I am the lamest poster ever…
You could go to one of these iron places around Third Avenue and have a base made that the blue stone could drop into or sit on top of…. or for a beautiful sleek modern look you could have a box built of teak or mahogany and put the stone on top of that. As far as weather-proofing the wood there are great marine quality polyurethanes that work incredibly outside- or- you could buy a vintage/antique bench or coffee table for the legs and put the stone on top of that.

I used 8 big cobblestones, they are wide enough and stable just make sure your groundsurface is level and stable.
