Know before you buy
Yes, the bench is crafted from durable solid teak, which is naturally resistant to the elements and suitable for outdoor use. If left untreated, the wood will gradually weather to a silvery grey finish.
To maintain the original honey-brown tone of the teak, you will need to apply a high-quality teak oil or sealer periodically. If you prefer the weathered look, no maintenance is required, as the wood will naturally transition to a silvery grey over time.
The Skagen Bench is designed with a seat height of 17.3 inches and a backrest, providing a comfortable upright seating position for two people. While it is a solid wood bench, the ergonomic X-pattern backrest offers reliable support for casual lounging.
FSC certification ensures that the teak used in the bench is sourced from forests that are managed in an environmentally appropriate, socially beneficial, and economically viable manner. It confirms that the wood meets rigorous standards for sustainable forestry.
The Skagen Bench typically arrives in components that require assembly. Detailed instructions are included to ensure the sturdy construction is properly secured.
