Know before you buy
Teak is naturally weather-resistant and requires very little maintenance. If left untreated, the wood will gradually transition from its natural honey color to a soft, silver-grey patina. If you prefer to keep the original color, you will need to apply a teak sealer periodically.
The 6-foot length provides ample space for three adults to sit comfortably. The curved seat design also helps define individual seating areas while maintaining the bench's classic aesthetic.
Yes, solid teak is highly durable and contains natural oils that protect it against moisture, insects, and decay. It is designed to withstand the elements throughout the year in most climates.
The bench arrives partially assembled and requires some final assembly. All necessary hardware is included, and the process is straightforward for those comfortable with basic furniture assembly.
Not at all. The curved seat is an ergonomic design feature intended to enhance comfort without compromising the structural integrity of the bench. It is built with heirloom-quality joinery to ensure long-term stability.
