Look at this super quality, amazing value teak garden bench, manufactured in durable teak wood timber. The timber is a close grain teak that when properly cared for, is capable of standing many years of the inclement British weather! The timber is sourced from sustainable resources and so you can purchase with a clear conscience from an environmental perspective. FLEGT approved and certified timber. Please note that nominal home assembly is required. Teak is naturally very high in oil content. This is precisely why it lasts so long in harsh western European climates. Due to this high oil content and in certain temperatures and humidity, a slight furring / blooming may occur on the surface of the wood. This can occur whilst the product is contained in its packaging during warehousing and transportation from the Far East. This is completely normal for high quality teak and is not a product fault. It simply wipes off with a damp cloth.
