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.

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.
