Catalog description
Aperitif 5 Foot Bench, part number ALH021, is a discontinued product from the 2007–2011 catalog. It was last listed at $429.99.
The Aperitif 5 Foot Bench is a clean-lined comfy addition to your backyard or patio. This bench features armrests and the stylish slatted back rest. Made of Shorea wood. The cushions are currently not available.
Shorea is a hardwood from Southeast Asia. It has properties quite similar to teak but it is stronger and heavier. The strength and durability of this magnificent wood has made this the wood of choice for light construction and more importantly for veneers. Another important attribute about Shorea is its natural resistance to decay and insects. This is why it is used extensively for the exterior finish in the boat building industry.
If this furniture is left outside during wet weather some roughness is possible even though it is resistant to rot. The Shorea will smoothen as the furniture weathers to a silver grey color very similar to teak. If the furniture is left outdoors permanently it is recommended that they be treated at least once a year with a treatment oil. If it is not oiled every year it will get a grey color and the rough surface will appear sooner than later.
