What customers say
Reviewers consistently praise the Oxford Garden Signature Series 5ft Shorea Bench for its exceptional quality and durable construction. The Shorea hardwood is noted for its density and longevity, rivaling teak and offering robust suitability for permanent outdoor placement. Many find assembly surprisingly easy due to precise manufacturing. While the classic design and rich color are appreciated, the bench's premium price point is a frequent topic. However, most agree the superior craftsmanship and expected lifespan justify the investment, presenting excellent long-term value compared to less durable options. The natural weathering process is understood as a characteristic of quality hardwood. Overall, this bench is highly recommended for those prioritizing enduring beauty and reliability.
Know before you buy
Shorea is a dense, tropical hardwood similar to teak that is naturally resistant to rot, insects, and moisture. Because it is unfinished, it will naturally weather to a soft silver-gray patina over time if left untreated.
The bench arrives partially assembled and requires some assembly upon delivery. It utilizes mortise and tenon joinery, which is a high-quality construction method that ensures the frame remains stable and secure once put together.
Yes, the bench is designed for outdoor use and features rust-resistant stainless steel hardware to prevent corrosion. While the wood is durable, we recommend using a cover during harsh winter months or applying a teak oil if you prefer to maintain the original wood color.
The Sunbrella fabric cushion is an optional add-on and is not included with the base purchase of the bench. If you choose to add one, it provides extra comfort and is highly resistant to fading and mildew.
The engraving option allows you to add a custom message or name directly onto the wood, making it a popular choice for memorial benches. You can select this customization during the checkout process to have the text professionally etched into the backrest.
The bench is designed with a seating capacity for two adults. Given its robust construction and 78-pound weight, it is built to be sturdy and stable for regular residential use.
