This side chair features elegant lines and stunning angles, capturing the beauty of dining outdoors. Combine with this bench or armchair (sold separately) to create unique seating arrangements around the chic dining table (sold separately). This side chair is made of shorea, a teak family wood that is more dense and heavy than teak. Shorea requires no finishing and will not rot when left outdoors where rain and sun will damage other lesser quality woods. Left untreated, shorea will weather to a soft warm shade of gray similar to the weathering of teak. Sturdy mortise and tenon construction provides the highest quality joinery that will last for many years. The original color can be maintained by applying a seasonal coat of Australian timber oil (not included).
