What is a teak bench?
1 Answer
A teak bench is a bench that is constructed from teak, which is a kind of tropical hardwood which is mostly used for making chairs, seats and even boats. Appreciated for its dense grain and rich luster, old-growth teak was a sought-after material among mid-century modern designers. With proper care, a teak bench can last for nearly 70 years!
