The Madison Teak Outdoor Bench can also be used for seating at our rectangular dining table for an outdoor picnic dining set or in area where a bench with a back would be just too tall. Expertly crafted from solid teak wood with mortise and tenon joinery, it is sealed in a waterbased coat for added weather protection against the elements of rain, hail or shine. Over time, the wood will weather to a beautiful silver gray patina, or occasionally scrub down with soap and water to keep in pristine condition.
