This Classic Design five-foot garden bench will enhance any area that you choose to place it. Overlooking a favorite vista, nestled in your special garden, or patio, this bench will provide long lasting comfort for many years. This bench is made of shorea, a teak family wood that is more dense and heavy than teak. Shorea requires no finishing and will not rot when left outdoors where rain and sun will damage other lesser quality woods. Left untreated, shorea will weather to a soft warm shade of gray similar to the weathering of teak. Sturdy mortise and tenon construction provides the highest quality joinery that will last for many years. Original color can be maintained by applying a seasonal coat of teak oil.This 5-foot garden bench combines Oxford’s sophisticated design and superior manufacturing, and the result is yours to enjoy for years. The bench is crafted from Shorea wood, a semihardwood similar to teak, and is ideally suited for outdoor use. While rain and sun can damage lesser woods, Oxford’s Classic garden bench will endure season after season in your garden, weathering to a warm shade of gray. Built using mortise-and-tenon joinery (the most structurally sound method), the bench features solid wood dowel construction. This Classic English garden bench is also available in a 4-foot model. You will receive the bench partially assembled; it only takes about 30 minutes to complete the assembly.

I’ve been searching for a bench for my small inner-city backyard for months. This one is perfect. And the price is right! It arrived in a timely manner, took 20 minutes to assemble, and now I am enjoying it daily. The bench is sturdy and was surprisingly easy to construct. I’m looking forward to years of use from it. Thanks for making it available, Amazon!

I didn’t have one of these, but have a little park close to my house in Los Angeles has a bunch of the 4′ benches. I sit on them every weekend to read the newspaper and relax, and finally found out they come from Oxford Designs. I dropped a hint to Santa, and I just got this one today (Christmas) for my new garden. We just put it together. Well really, I mostly did it myself, with no help from the family men anxious to get their hands on the challenge (I am usually not so good with these things, but I didn’t have a single problem!). It’s absolutely great, and I can even afford to get another one to match!

I recently bought this four-foot English Garden bench for my small little private cove toward the back of my several acre back yard, and it is surrounded by spruce trees, flowers, and shrubbery. I hauled in crushed stone last fall and dug a hole to place a neat solar streetlamp, and with addition of the bench, I now have a perfect spot for lolling away an hour or so in the coolness of the screen of trees, shrubs, and flowers each morning, and watch the Labradors as they play. I have enjoyed using it since the sturdy construction easily supports someone my size (at 260 lbs) and is a lovely naturally weathering bench made from Shorea wood, a handsome and durable piece of all-weather furniture. The bench is constructed using mortise and tenon joinery techniques, which gives it both unusual strength and durability for extended use ove the four seasons of weather-pounding we get here in New England, although I will store it each year. It also features solid wood dowel construction, and will weather over time to a rich graying patina. It has both a high back and a fairly deep seat, with very sturdy and large armrests that will comfortably fit two or three (unless I am hogging up half the space!) adults or a couple of grandkids alongside me. I love reading the new York Times book review out there, when I am not being gently pestered by the dogs, my granddaughter, or the pesky black flies that are the bane of mankind and that we seem to have buzzing around here early in the summer. All that said, this is a neat English Garden style bench that is both rugged and sturdy as well as being a handsome piece of outdoor furniture offered at an attractive price. Enjoy!

Just recieved this bench today (2 days after ordering!) and I am very pleased. The build quality of this bench is simply excellent. Very solid, very sturdy, and it took about 15 minutes to assemble.The wood is beautiful, and I plan to get some teak oil to bring out the color (as the instructions suggest).The curved bench seat fits my rear just right. However, my only qualm with this bench is that the seating position is a bit upright. I would just rather prefer a more relaxed seating position. However, my spouse loves it and it is primarily for her, so no big deal. This is really the only problem with buying something like this online–no way to see how well it ‘sits’.
