The Chadwick Bench by Oxford Garden is designed with a traditional English sense of style, and is a wonderful choice for the garden, yard, or patio. It 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 and insect damage. It also has a remarkable ability to withstand weather, no matter if it's wind, rain, sun, or snow. This bench will last many years outdoors with little or no maintenance. Left untreated, your bench will weather naturally to a warm shade of gray. Oil-based wood stains will delay this process. 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, each piece will weather to a nice 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 each piece of your set with Teak Oil to prolong weathering. Each piece 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.
