This bench has a classic lattice-back design and a contoured seat for comfort. Built with precision joinery and hand-sanded for a smooth finish, it is made for long-lasting use. All Ash & Ember teak furniture is crafted from legally sourced Grade A Teak wood from responsibly run plantations - never natural forests. Over time, the original coloring matures to a silver-gray patina. To preserve the original coloring, we recommend periodic oiling.
