Product Information

Full details

The Ethnicraft Bok Outdoor Bench (162cm) is for those seeking elegant, durable outdoor seating with a sculptural design. Its key benefit is the natural resilience of solid teak, offering long-lasting beauty and function in any garden or patio setting. A potential caveat is that untreated teak will naturally weather to a grey hue over time, which some may prefer to prevent or slow down with a protector.

FAQs

What is the primary material of the Bok Outdoor Bench?

The bench is constructed from 100% solid teak wood.

Do I need to treat the teak wood?

The teak is untreated, allowing it to weather naturally. You can apply a teak protector product to slow down the graying process and help prevent stains if desired.

How should I clean the bench?

Clean with a mild soap and water solution using a soft cloth or brush. Rinse and let it air dry. Avoid harsh chemicals.

Will the bench change color over time?

Yes, untreated teak will naturally develop a superficial grey patina when exposed to sunlight and weather. This is a normal characteristic of the wood.

Can this bench be used indoors?

While designed for outdoor use, its aesthetic and material make it suitable for indoor use as well, particularly in sunrooms or areas with natural light.

What are the dimensions of this specific model?

This model is the 162cm length variant. Please refer to product specifications for exact width and height.

Is assembly required?

Typically, the Bok Outdoor Bench arrives fully assembled. Please check your specific order details.

Troubleshooting

Wood color is turning grey

This is a natural weathering process for untreated teak. It is superficial and does not affect the wood's quality. If you wish to slow this process, apply a teak protector product.

Surface stains appear on the wood

For fresh stains, try cleaning with a mild soap and water solution. For stubborn stains, a gentle wood cleaner for teak may be required. Applying a teak protector can help prevent future stains.

Bench feels unstable

Ensure the bench is placed on a level surface. Check all structural joints for tightness, though solid teak furniture typically has fixed joinery.

Minor surface cracks or splits

Small cracks can occur due to natural wood expansion and contraction with temperature and humidity changes. These are usually superficial and do not compromise the bench's structural integrity.

Pros and Cons

Pros

Highly durable and weather-resistant due to solid teak construction.
Unique, eye-catching sculptural design adds aesthetic value.
Versatile use as seating or a side table.
Natural material that ages gracefully.
Available in multiple lengths to fit various spaces.

Cons

Untreated teak will naturally weather to a grey color.
Requires care to maintain original finish or prevent staining.
Solid teak can be heavy, making it less portable.
Potential for superficial cracks or minor imperfections due to natural wood characteristics.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions

Setup: The Bok Outdoor Bench typically arrives fully assembled. Simply unpackage and place it in your desired outdoor location. Ensure the ground is level for stability.

Compatibility: This bench is designed to complement the Ethnicraft Bok Outdoor Dining Table but is also versatile enough to be used independently. It fits well within various outdoor aesthetics, from modern minimalist to rustic garden settings.

Care: The bench is made from untreated solid teak.

Natural Aging: Over time, untreated teak will naturally acquire a silvery-grey patina. This is a superficial change and does not affect the wood's structural integrity or quality.
Protection: To protect the furniture from stains and to slow down the natural graying process, you can apply a teak protector specifically designed for outdoor furniture. Follow the product instructions carefully.
Cleaning: Clean the bench periodically with a mild soap and water solution using a soft cloth or brush. Rinse thoroughly and allow to air dry. Avoid abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals, which can damage the wood.
Maintenance: For optimal longevity, consider storing the bench in a sheltered area during harsh winter months or prolonged periods of non-use, although it is designed for outdoor resilience.
