Why choose this teak bench from Sideboards and Things?
The 76-inch width provides generous seating for garden gatherings or quiet mornings with coffee, while the 120-pound heft ensures stability against wind and weather. Teak's natural oils resist rot, insects, and moisture damage without chemical treatments, making it ideal for year-round placement in exposed locations. Pair this bench with selections from our outdoor accessories collection to complete your patio arrangement, or explore complementary pieces in our outdoor accent chairs and all outdoor furniture ranges for a cohesive exterior space.
How does reclaimed teak age outdoors?
Plantation-grown teak left untreated will gradually shift from warm brown tones to a silvery grey patina as UV exposure and weathering oxidize the surface oils. This natural greying process occurs over several months to a year depending on sun exposure and climate, creating the soft dove-grey finish characteristic of aged teak furniture. The structural integrity remains unchanged throughout the color transformation.
