Know before you buy
Yes, the bench is crafted from solid FSC-certified teak and durable polypropylene rope, both of which are designed to withstand outdoor conditions. While teak is naturally weather-resistant, we recommend using a furniture cover during harsh winters or extended periods of non-use to maintain the finish.
The polypropylene rope can be easily cleaned by wiping it down with a soft cloth and a mild solution of soap and water. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive brushes, which could damage the fibers.
The Sumner Outdoor Bench typically arrives fully assembled or with minimal assembly required. Please refer to the included instructions, as the solid teak frame is designed for straightforward setup.
While it is designed primarily for seating, its backless, angular profile and sturdy construction make it a versatile piece. Many users find it works well as a low-profile accent table, provided you use a tray to create a stable, flat surface for drinks or decor.
Yes, like all natural teak, the washed brown finish will gradually weather to a soft, silvery-gray patina if left untreated in direct sunlight. If you prefer to maintain the original brown tone, you can apply a teak sealer periodically.
