Product Description
Featuring a slightly curved seat and back, this Strathwood bench makes a comfortable and handsome addition to any porch, patio, deck, or yard, as well as any indoor living space. The open, slatted design is both attractive and functional. The ribs are far enough apart to allow rain water to fall through and dry out and close enough together to provide an even seating surface. The 2-seater bench coordinates with other kapur hardwood pieces in the Gibranta, Anderson, and Bradford collections. Some easy assembly is required on arrival, and all the hardware comes included.

Made of kapur, a sturdy Southeast Asian hardwood comparable to teak and with excellent weather-resistant properties, the bench is light enough to move easily. And it requires no oiling unless to maintain a desired finish color. Left untreated, kapur will weather to a soft warm shade of gray similar to the weathering of teak. To prevent this weathering process, apply coats of teak oil. The frequency of necessary teak oil applications depends on the intensity of the outdoor elements. After kapur furniture has weathered, restore it to original condition by using teak cleaner and then applying teak oil to prevent more weathering.

Strathwood furniture has quality, ease of use, and casual elegance at its core. Each piece is rigorously tested for durability, and assembly instructions have been standardized for simplicity from start to finish. Strathwood furniture is sleekly designed, handsomely finished, and built to last. This classic style and reliable craftsmanship will weather ever-changing trends and regular use for years to come.

Reader Reviews
I am very happy with this bench. It looks great, easy to put together, a good value. Another reviewer mentioned that the "holes" were not lined up properly when they assembled it. I initially ran into the same problem. However, my problem was resolved by simply trying the other arm. In other words, there are two sides to the bench. They look the same, but I believe there is a left and a right side.
