Scarborough Memorial Bench 4ft In teak wood

 Summary

Features/Benefits
The Scarborough is a comfortable bench with contoured seat and contoured/angled backrest.

Weighing in at 26kg this is a middleweight bench made from teak wood giving strength and durability.

The seat slats run front to back resulting in a pleasing look from the continuous line from seat to back rest. Engraving is possible only on the backrest top and bottom rails, not on any part of the seat component.

The bench is made of Indonesian V-legal teakwood providing you with a long lasting, stable, strong but "soft to the touch" bench sourced using responsible plantation forestry management. Teak doesn't need to be treated, it ages beautifully to a silver colour

The arms are shaped on the top face, this combined with the softness of the teak, often results in an irresistible urge to stroke the arms.

The Scarborough doesn't have any wood lamination. Lamination is used in the industry to reduce costs, it involves glueing pieces of wood together. Lamination is often seen on the back leg where there is an angle (finger joint) , on seat slats and the top/seat rails. We have seen examples of wood delaminating over time and recommend you avoid it if your budget allows.

The bench is manufactured in 4 parts (components), backrest, seat and pair of arms. Mortise and tenon joints combined with dowels and used to assemble the bench before handing over to you.

The quality of the teak is good, with a golden colour and good density. This bench is manufactured in smaller facilities than our other benches made in large highly mechanized factories Thailand and Vietnam. The result is a bench with a more "handmade" look will lower machining standards, but at a lower price.

When you receive the bench, it will be fully assembled.

Engraving
This bench can accommodate 1 line of engraving on the back rest top rail. The maximum number of carved letters is 40 characters (including spaces). The back rest bottom rail can accommodate 1 line of engraving. The V carved letters are typically 0.3inch/8mm deep, depending on the font type and size. This depth of carving takes a lot of machining time but the result is an inscription which is crisp, clear and readable.

Choose whether you want engraving to top rail or bottom rail or both, then type the inscription above the "Add to cart" button. Finally, select your font type from the drop down list and add it to cart. 

We offer free design proof, please choose this option if you require one. 

We aim to make the letters as large as possible, for example if you choose less letters the letter height is likely to be larger.

You can further personalise your bench by adding the following: 

• 2d clipart carving to wood, 
• logo carving to wood.
