Comments about Teak Friendship Bench:

This bench is now on our front porch surrounded by green plants and flowers. We use it to sit on when we come home from the beach and have to dump the sand out of our shoes! We love the way it makes our front porch looks now!!

Graceful and well-made.

Comments about Teak Friendship Bench:

My bench is a comfortable, pleasant place for reflection and viewing my Japanese garden. It has a good solid feel to it, yet is easily moved from sunshine to shade. However, if you are physically large, this bench may be too tight for two.

Perfectly proportioned for our entryway. Applying two coats of teak oil intensifies the variations in the grain and warm colors of the wood.
Sturdy construction, graceful design and petite size make this bench comfy seating indoors and outside as well.

Just what I needed

Entryway

Primary use:

Bottom Line:

Comments about Teak Friendship Bench:

I use this bench in my entryway as a seat for removing shoes; it's the first piece of furniture guests see when they enter the house, and I feel I have no reason to hide this beautiful piece or consign it to the deck or garden. It has a Japanese style top, which fits in with my decor, and a little golden oak stain, which the teak took beautifully, allows it to complement my oak furniture and trim. I wish it had a rack built into the leg braces, but this might spoil its clean lines.
