Oxford 4' Backless Bench in Solid Teak
A backless teak bench, 48.5 inches long and only 18.75 inches deep. Without a back it can be approached from either side, pushed under a table out of the way, or run along a path where a chair back would block the view.
- Backless, so it works from both sides. People sit facing either way, which is why backless benches end up at dining tables, in entries and along walls where a chair would only face one direction.
- Only 18.75 inches deep. It tucks fully under a dining table between meals instead of standing out in the traffic route.
- A 17.5 inch seat height. Dining height. Pulled up to a 29 inch table it sits at the same level as a dining chair.
- Solid teak slats and legs. Unfinished and left to weather. There is no coating to peel where the seat takes the most wear.

Materials and Construction
Frame. Solid teak, sustainably sourced. Teak is used outdoors because of what is already in it: a high natural oil content that resists water absorption, insects and rot without any coating.
Finish. Supplied unfinished in natural teak. Left alone, the surface oxidizes to a soft silver gray over roughly one season. That change is cosmetic and does not affect the strength of the wood.
What Is Included
- One Oxford 4' Backless Bench in solid teak, packed flat in a single carton

Care and Maintenance
Teak. No treatment is required. To keep the honey tone rather than let it silver, apply a teak sealer once a season to a dry frame. Do not use a pressure washer, which tears the soft grain out from between the harder rings. For general cleaning, warm water, mild soap and a soft brush worked along the grain.
Off season. The frame can stay outside all year.

Frequently Asked Questions
How many people fit on it?
Two comfortably along the 48.5 inch seat. Because there is no back, a third or fourth person can perch at the end without anyone having to shuffle along.
Will it tuck under a dining table?
It should. The bench is 17.5 inches to the seat and 18.75 inches deep, so any table with about 24 inches of clearance under the top and no low stretcher takes it fully.
Is it heavy to move?
At 30.8 pounds it is a two person lift over any distance, though one person can walk it a few feet. Backless benches are easier to carry than backed ones because there is nothing to catch.
Does it arrive assembled?
No. The carton is only a few inches deep, so the piece ships flat and assembles on site. Lay the parts out first, start every fastener before you tighten any of them, and the frame pulls up square.
Will the teak turn gray?
It will, over roughly a season outdoors, unless you seal it. The silver gray is surface oxidation and does not weaken the wood. A teak sealer applied once a season to a dry frame holds the honey color instead.
Can it stay outside through the winter?
Yes. Teak carries its own oil, which is why it is used on boat decks and why this frame needs no coating. Freeze and thaw cycles do not damage it and nothing needs to come in.
How is it delivered?
By LTL freight to the curb with lift gate service. The carton is 50" x 20" x 6" inches. The driver brings it to the curb only, so have someone on hand to carry it in.
