The Perfect Teak Bench, Part 1

If you’re decorating a new vacation home, consider a teak bench. These beauties come in a variety of styles. Find the perfect one for your hall, sunroom, patio, pool, or garden by perusing these explanations of teak bench designs.

The Classic teak bench features a rectangular shape and armrests. Slats form the seat and backrest. The slats of the seat and back run perpendicular to each other. Four straight legs support the bench. Traditional, simple, classic.

The Savoy teak bench appears in similar fashion to the Classic. However, the backrest bears detailing and sits at a slant with the seat. For some, the angled backrest may seem more comfortable since it provides more lumbar support.

The Columbia teak bench isn’t much different from the Classic and Savoy. One major difference is that the slats of the backrest and the seat run parallel to each other, instead of perpendicular. It shares the straight armrests with the Classic, but offers a curved back. Like the Savoy, the curved back offers a higher degree of lumbar support.
So you have the Classic, Savoy, and Columbia—three variations of the beautiful teak bench. Read parts 2 and 3 for more descriptions of various bench styles.
