A modern design constructed with traditional craftsmanship, the Savoy 5-foot Bench boasts subtle curves and lasting comfort. Sit in the deep seat and experience the angle of the back for a one-of-a-kind feeling. Formed of larger dimensioned lumber for added strength and presence, this bench features a flared and scalloped back rail that adds to its unique style. Crafted from sturdy Shorea wood, this bench is very similar to a teak one in terms of appearance and durability.
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.
