This is the same iconic Chippendale Bench featured on America's Front Porch at Grand Hotel Mackinac Island. Handcrafted in Europe from Robinia, a premium solid hardwood, this bench has every feature of luxury, style, and durability. This is the finest, best built Chippendale bench available, and it will last through many years of use and happy memories. Premium weatherproof Robinia wood has been 100% kiln-dried, all hardware is exterior grade, glue is non-water soluble, slats are cut to shape; not bent, and all construction is mortise and tenon. Each Chippendale bench is pre-assembled at the factory to ensure quality control and a perfect fit, then partially disassembled and carefully packaged for safe shipping. Weatherproof Wood: Better than Teak for Half the Price Teak has been the gold standard for outdoor wood furniture for more than a century, but Robinia provides equal weather resistance with greater strength and more environmental sustainability. This is chiefly because Robinia matures in 30 years, as compared with 60 years for teak. In addition, while teak's high oil content does not allow it to be painted, Robinia is paintable - for that reason, our painted Chippendale products are also made of weatherproof Robinia. Quality Construction Techniques The durability of this Chippendale bench only starts with premium quality weatherproof Robinia wood; we also cut our parts generously to provide extra thickness and strength in key stress points like seat slats and arms. Both seat and back slats are fully mortised into the seating brackets to provide extra stability. Arms are thick for strength, stability, and feel, and both contoured and chamfered for smoothness. 100% Satisfaction Guarantee If you are not satisfied FOR ANY REASON, you may return your items in new condition within 14 days for a full refund.
