Unlike our benches and chairs with backs, the lowest point in this seat’s curve is directly in the center, allowing you to face in either direction. This bench can also be used for seating at our rectangular dining table to create an outdoor picnic dining set or in areas where a bench with a back would be just too tall. Expertly crafted from solid teak wood with mortise and tenon joinery, it is sealed in a waterbased coat for added weather protection against the elements of rain, hail or shine. Over time, the wood will weather to a beautiful silver gray patina, or occasionally scrub down with soap and water to keep in pristine condition. Add cushions with All-Weather Sunbrella Fabrics for added comfort. Quality built for generations.
