Ergo 2-Seater Teak Bench, 120cm

Garden Trading · £350

A two-seater teak bench with arms and a slatted seat and back, shown from the front.

Worth being NRY provisional

Solid teak with arms, 120cm, 21kg, £350. Teak is the material that makes garden furniture a one-time purchase: it holds up outdoors untreated, and the only maintenance is teak oil if you would rather keep the honey colour than let it silver. Garden Trading state the timber is FLEGT-licensed, which is a documented legal-origin chain rather than a vague sustainability line, and they are candid that it is handmade and so dimensionally approximate.

For
Anyone who wants one bench that can stay outside for a decade with no winter routine.
Not for
Someone who needs it assembled on arrival: this comes flat with instructions to download.
