Know before you buy
The Dunbarton bench is specifically crafted from high-quality teak, which contains natural oils that make it exceptionally resistant to salt-air, moisture, and decay, making it an ideal choice for coastal properties.
Yes, if left untreated, the teak will naturally transition from its original honey-brown tone to a distinguished silver-gray patina over time. This process is purely aesthetic and does not affect the structural integrity of the bench.
The bench measures 60 inches long, which comfortably accommodates two adults. Its 34.5-inch total height and 16-inch seat height are designed to provide standard, ergonomic support for most users.
Teak is naturally low-maintenance and can be left outdoors year-round. If you prefer to keep the original color, you can apply a teak sealer, but otherwise, occasional cleaning with mild soap and water is sufficient.
Cushions are not included with the base purchase of the bench. However, custom-fit cushions are available as an optional add-on if you prefer extra padding for extended lounging.
Weighing 62 pounds, the bench is substantial enough to remain stable in most residential outdoor settings. Its solid teak construction provides a sturdy, grounded feel that resists shifting in typical wind conditions.
