Know before you buy
Shorea is a dense, tropical hardwood that is very similar to teak in terms of durability and natural resistance to rot and insects. It is an excellent choice for outdoor furniture because it holds up well against the elements while remaining a more sustainable, cost-effective alternative to teak.
If left untreated, the natural Shorea wood will gradually transition from its warm, honey-toned finish to a soft, silvery-gray patina. This process is purely aesthetic and does not affect the structural integrity of the bench.
The bench requires assembly, but it is designed with traditional mortise and tenon joinery, which makes the process straightforward. You will need basic tools to secure the rust-resistant hardware, and it is helpful to have a second person assist with aligning the larger pieces.
Yes, the bench is built to be weather-resistant and can remain outdoors throughout the seasons. To prolong its lifespan and maintain the original wood color, we recommend applying teak oil periodically or using a furniture cover during harsh winter months.
The bench is a freestanding design weighing 78 pounds, which provides a solid, stable base. While it works well on most surfaces, we recommend placing it on a level patio or deck to ensure the best balance and to prevent the wood legs from absorbing excess moisture from damp soil.
