Amzi Teak Table & Benches

The Amzi Teak Table and Benches is a 220cm teak dining table supplied with two benches. Teak resists rot, decay and moisture, so the set works indoors or out. Benches double as entryway seating for shoes and bags.

Benches instead of chairs is a decision with real consequences. They seat more people in the same length, since nobody is confined to a chair width, and they slide fully under the table when not in use, which frees up floor in a small dining room.

The flexibility is the other argument. A bench that is not needed at the table works in a hallway holding shoes and school bags, which no dining chair manages. Teak makes both roles possible, since its natural moisture resistance means it copes with a covered verandah as well as a dining room. Expect small patches, textures and imperfections in the timber. New teak is a golden honey colour and will fade to a light grey outdoors, which affects appearance but not strength.
