The Chadwick Bench by Oxford Garden is designed with a traditional English sense of style. With its arching top, classic slat-back, and smooth armrests, this outdoor bench is a wonderful choice for the garden, yard, or patio. The simplicity of the design will help create a comfortable atmosphere of contentment in your garden.
This charming unfinished bench is as durable as it is gorgeous. Crafted of Shorea wood (a member of the Teak family), it is incredibly strong, and highly resistant to rot, insect damage, and weather. This bench will last many years outdoors with little or no maintenance. Some assembly is required.
About Shorea Wood
Shorea is possibly the best wood choice for outdoor furniture. Related to Burma teak, this hardwood grows naturally and plentifully in the Pacific Rim countries, making it considerably less expensive than teak. Because shorea contains an abundance of natural oils, is dense, heavy and hard, it is highly resistant to rot, bug infestation, weather, and marring.
Shorea is strong and weather-resistant enough to be left untreated. If left untreated, it will weather to a warm shade of gray. The weathering process will change the color, but the grain will still be smooth. There is no splitting or splintering. You may treat this bench with Teak Oil to slow the weathering process. Each piece crafted from Shorea wood is durable, classic, and elegant.
An Eco-Friendly Choice
We realize the importance of preserving our environment. Our Shorea wood is imported from Java, which is diligently managed by its government to ensure wise, renewable harvesting and fair prices. Rest assured you are making a responsible choice when you purchase this set crafted from Shorea.
