CHICHESTER BENCH
Woven-Back Teak Bench
An Iconic Silhouette, Woven Into the Slats
The Chichester Bench pairs a distinctive woven-pattern back with a gently curved, slatted seat, a combination that reads as timeless rather than trendy. Sized for a full stretch of porch or patio, it holds its shape and its welcome through every season, offering a quiet place to sit that never feels like it was chosen in a hurry.
A Design That Endures
Woven Detail, Classic Form
The Chichester's woven-pattern back sets it apart from a typical slatted bench, lending it a distinct texture that catches the light differently through the day. Paired with a curved seat built for real sitting, it settles naturally into a garden path, an entryway, or a long porch.
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 that reads as intentional, not weathered.
Everyday Practical
Steady Seating, Minimal Upkeep
Full assembly is required for the Chichester Bench, and one person can manage it comfortably. 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
Chichester Bench FAQ
How do I care for the Chichester 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 Chichester Bench?
The Chichester Bench measures W 48" x D 25.75" x H 36.5", with a seat width of 44", seat depth of 17.5", and seat height of 17".
Does the Chichester Bench come assembled?
No. Full assembly is required, though one person can complete it without additional help.
How many people can sit on the Chichester Bench?
The 44-inch seat width comfortably fits two adults, or three seated more closely together, and the bench is rated for a combined weight capacity of 300 lbs.
Can the Chichester Bench stay outside year-round?
Yes. Teak can remain outdoors through every season, including freezing winters, thanks to its natural oil content, which protects it from moisture and pests without additional sealants.
