I know I’m not the only one thinking Spring. With Daylight
Savings Time beginning this past weekend I know it’s right around the corner. Not to mention the 70 degree weather we had yesterday!
Teak Closeouts was kind enough to send us one of their 48 inch teak benches. It was delivered one day in February, but then the box sat for over two weeks until Adam had time to help me put it together. (aka put it together himself, while I take photos...)

Then, Adam had to travel to Georgia for a week
for work. So the big box sat some more in the living room. Until I had cleaned
the entire house and watched all my reality television on the DVR…then I wanted to do
something else. So I hauled the box down the basement, opened the sucker up and
said to myself:
“How hard can it be? You can do this Trina!” And I did. By the way, Scout was no help.
It took about 30 minutes to put together, and 10 of those
minutes was spent rooting around the garage for the rubber mallet. So, technically
20 minutes to put together. I used the allen wrench that came with bench and the
screws were provided too. The only tools of my own I used were a box cutter and
the rubber mallet.
The directions were super simple. Just a small diagram with
some arrows.

After I put it together I hauled it outside to the back
patio. That’s it. You don’t have to “finish” the wood. Sure, there is teak oil
if you want a darker wood look, but I like it plain and simple.
The bench is heavy and sturdy, but not too heavy. I moved it outside by myself.
We're using the bench on our downstairs back patio. We have a fire pit and enjoy evening cocktails with friends right here.
We're working on landscaping this year, and I’m going to have a perfect spot for it under a shade tree in the yard. Knowing me, I will be rearranging the outside furniture as much as I do the inside.
Thanks so much for the great teak bench Teak Closeouts!
