The Perfect Teak Bench, Part 2

On the quest for the perfect teak bench, you might come across a variety of styles. The Classic, Savoy, and Columbia benches are just three variations of the basic teak bench.

The Essex teak bench isn’t so different from these three types. In fact, many of the Essex benches look similar to the Classic, except that they offer curved armrests instead of flat.

The Charleston teak bench comes in a number of variations, but the most common one has no back. In this way, it’s different from the previous styles we’ve discussed. A crossbeam attaches the legs, as well. Fewer slats fit more closely together in this design than in the others.

The Victoria teak bench tends to look more ornate that its cousins. It, too, incorporates slats into its design. The back is taller and curved along its top. The seat curves slightly, as well. And the armrests curve. All these curves are designed to conform to the body’s natural shape and provide a more comfortable seat.

Now we’ve covered the Classic, Savoy, Columbia, Essex, Charleston, and Victoria styles. Read the final installment for some additional style descriptions. After all, your perfect teak bench could be one of those.
