This is Iroka wood. It is not authentic teak wood. The actual item you get will have more yellow brown in it vs teak as seen in photo colors which has more golden brown. In

Excellent storage box. Beautiful after sealing in the teak. Well constructed with liner to keep cushions and more dry. Placed nice cushions on top concise as seat for kids. Company great to deal with when arrived with some wrong parts, as returned easily and got now parts. Excellent product at great price

Beware! The bench comes with wood sections that have pre drilled holes. Our unit came with some of the holes drilled in the wrong place. Impossible to put together! Also way too expensive for the quality of the item. Impossible to package back up to return!

This was hard to put together but it’s lovely!

This bench is an incredible value for being teak! It is a little coarse, meaning some of the joints aren't exactly perfectly sanded, but it would have been $600-$1000 for that level of perfection. This bench is beautiful and very straightforward to put together; my teenager could have done it. All the parts are labeled and holes are predrilled. I am a 57 year old female and it took me less than 20 min by myself. I'm not sure about the people that had trouble putting it together. And shipping flat pack ensures that the product will be sturdier when assembled on site. I LOVE the plastic liner. I'm using this outside my gate for package delivery.
