Imagine this scene: you’re sitting outside on your porch in an old rocking chair, attempting to enjoy the beautiful sunset and all of the other bounties of nature that may be surrounding you. A squirrel scampers through the yard and spirals up a tree, the first crickets are beginning to warm up their vocal chords, a few birds flit across the sky.
You recognize the sheer beauty and peace of it all, and attempt to settle in to your seat further, but the sharp, chipped edges of this old rocker aren’t too friendly to your back. You try to relax your mind and absorb the ambient chirping of the crickets and birds, but the obnoxious creak of your rocking chair isn’t having that either. And on top of all this, you can’t seem to stop impulsively scratching at the withering edges of the old chair, shedding fibers of wood with each scratch.
Perhaps this scene sounds familiar to you, or at least some parts of it. In that case, may I suggest an upgrade? Here at London Teak, we feature an impressive variety of rocking chairs made out of the world’s most durable wood, teak! Many of our chairs feature an ergonomic backrest that accommodates the natural curves of your body. That said, we also have a stunning variety of cozy cushions that will make your teak seat even more luxurious! Also, the expertly shaped and sanded teak won’t crumble under the pressures of the outdoors.
Finally, have you heard of many rocking chairs that carry a lifetime warranty?
I like to compare owning teak to having a cat. That is, the initial investment may seem a bit hefty, but the teak, like the cat, requires very little maintenance afterwards. That is the single biggest benefit to choosing teakwood when dealing with outdoor furnishing – its seemingly eternal durability, its ability to withstand Mother Nature’s often cruel mood changes for years and years. This in turn, allows you more time to spend doing the more important things than refinishing or sanding wood for the third time around. Remember, our possessions should serve us, not the other way around!
This is why I’ve chosen to feature the Ophelia Teak Swing today. What is better than being able to sit down and enjoy a sunset without worrying about the myriad varieties of critters just dying to crawl in your pants when you plop down on the ground, and on top of that, being able to SWING?
This item is a nice marriage of man-made ingenuity and the comforts of nature, seeing as you’ll probably be tethering this swinging bench to your favorite low-hanging tree. The swing itself features a subtly sloping backrest and elegantly grooved armrests that accommodate extended seating sessions. The look of the swing preserves the whimsical look of an old, trusty bench without being as uncomfortable, thanks to its modern, subdued curves.
Of course, like all of our products here at London Teak, this is an expertly-crafted, high-quality piece made from Grade A teakwood imported from the Indonesian island of Java. Adding more to the inherent strength of teakwood is the mortise and tenon joinery that makes the Ophelia Teak Swing even more durable. Which is why it features a lifetime warranty!
