CHELSEA BENCH
European Garden Teak Bench
A Bench Borrowed From the Great Gardens
The Chelsea Bench takes its scrolled back and curved slat seat from a tradition of garden seating found across Europe's grandest estates. Solid Teak construction and a graceful, classic profile make it equally at home framing a rose bed, anchoring a porch, or standing quietly at the edge of a patio.
A Storied Silhouette
Classically Designed, Quietly Grand
The Chelsea's scrolled back is reminiscent of benches still found in the great gardens of Europe, a design that has outlasted passing trends by generations. It brings that same sense of permanence to a garden, porch, or patio, becoming a fixture rather than a passing purchase.
The Material
Solid Teak, Kiln-Dried for Stability
Each bench is built from Teak sourced from well-managed plantations and kiln-dried to resist cracking and shrinking. The hand-sanded finish starts a light golden color and, left untreated, mellows over time to a soft silvery grey, deepening its character season after season.
Everyday Practical
Built to Hold Its Shape
Full assembly is required for the Chelsea Bench, and one person can manage it without additional help. Wood grain variation is inherent to Teak, and small surface cracks may appear at the end grain as it weathers; this is expected and does not affect the bench's structural integrity.

Common Questions
Chelsea Bench FAQ
How do I care for the Chelsea Bench?
Clean the Teak twice a year, in spring and fall, with a solution of 2/3 cup laundry detergent, 1/4 cup bleach, and 1 gallon of warm water. Scrub gently with the grain using a soft-bristle brush, then rinse thoroughly. Avoid pressure washers, which can erode the wood surface.
What are the dimensions of the Chelsea Bench?
The Chelsea Bench measures W 48" x D 26" x H 36.5", with a seat width of 44", seat depth of 18", and seat height of 17".
Is assembly required?
Yes, full assembly is required. One person can complete it comfortably without extra help.
Where does the Chelsea Bench work best?
Its classic scrolled profile suits formal gardens, front porches, and patios, anywhere a bench is meant to feel like a fixture rather than an afterthought.
Does the bench need to come inside for winter?
No. Teak can stay outdoors year-round in virtually any climate, including freezing winters, thanks to its natural oil content.
