Full details
The Ethnicraft Bok Outdoor Bench is designed for homeowners and design enthusiasts looking to bring sculptural, modern elegance to their garden, patio, or terrace. Crafted from high-quality FSC-certified solid teak, this bench offers a perfect blend of comfort and durability, featuring a signature curved silhouette by Alain van Havre. While its natural, untreated teak construction ensures long-term resistance to the elements, users should be prepared for the wood to transition into a weathered silver-grey patina over time.

FAQs
Does this bench need to be stored indoors during winter?
Teak is highly weather-resistant and can be left outdoors year-round. However, using a furniture cover or moving it to a sheltered area can extend its longevity.
Can I use this bench indoors?
Yes, the sculptural design of the Bok collection is equally suited for entryways or dining rooms as it is for outdoor spaces.
How do I remove stains from the wood?
For surface dirt, use a mild soap and water solution. For tougher stains, light sanding in the direction of the grain will restore the surface.
Is the bench heavy enough to withstand high winds?
The bench is crafted from solid, dense teak, making it sufficiently heavy for most residential garden and terrace environments.
Will the teak release natural oils onto my patio?
In the first few weeks, natural oils may leach out during rain. This is normal and will fade, but you may want to monitor placement on light-colored porous stone.
Troubleshooting
The bench feels slightly wobbly on the patio surface.
Adjust the positioning of the bench or use discreet furniture levelers under the legs if the outdoor flooring is uneven.
Small cracks or 'checking' appear in the wood.
Small fissures are natural in solid teak as it expands and contracts with humidity; these do not affect structural integrity.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
The bench is delivered fully assembled and ready for immediate placement. For maintenance, clean the surface periodically with a soft brush and mild soapy water to remove accumulated dirt or debris. Because the teak is left untreated, you may notice it develop a silver-grey patina within a few months of outdoor exposure; this is a natural aesthetic shift and does not affect the strength of the bench. If you prefer to keep the original honey-gold color, you may apply a teak-specific oil or sealer annually, ensuring the wood is clean and dry before application. Ensure the bench is placed on a level surface to maintain even weight distribution across the tapered legs.
