Shakespeare 180cm Teak Memorial Bench

Introducing the ‘Shakespeare’ … Rattan And Teak’s flagship Memorial Bench

A Memorial Bench can be the perfect way to commemorate a special person or event and can also make a wonderful, personalised gift. They are ideal for wedding presents, anniversary gifts, leaving gifts or special birthday gifts. Through our expert Laser Engraving Service, you can add a message and / or an image of your choice, which means that Memorial Benches are also popular with schools, businesses and other organisations, who can add their school or company name and logo. 

If you are celebrating or commemorating something or someone significant or special, then you also want a bench to be proud of … a memorial garden bench that will last a life time, withstand regular use and stay looking beautiful when left outdoors in all weathers, with little or no maintenance.

Garden memorial benches of the highest quality

Meeting all those needs, yet coming at an affordable price, is this stunning Shakespeare 180cm Teak Memorial Bench. Unlike the cheaper memorial benches available on the market, which are often screwed together and therefore often start to loosen and wobble as time goes by, this classic garden bench has been expertly crafted to the highest spec from premium quality, A-grade teak using traditional methods such as tight-fitting mortise and tenon joints with teak dowels. This means it offers you not only excellent quality and durability, this bench also looks beautiful and will be a memorial bench you will be proud to present.

The Shakespeare 180cm Teak Memorial Bench has a simple, classic garden bench design with beautifully smooth, straight struts in the backrest and a gently curved seat for added comfort. There is plenty of room on the top of the backrest for an inscription – and logo or image, if desired – and it is also possible to have the front of the seat engraved too. The legs and armrests which are finished with elegant scrolls, are thick and solid and beautifully crafted. This is a garden bench that says ‘quality’ as soon as you see it.

An all weather garden bench

Whether for commercial or domestic use, the Shakespeare 180cm Teak Memorial Bench requires virtually no maintenance. It is able to withstand even the harshest weather conditions, being crack and rot resistant and having a natural oil in the wood that repels moisture, so you can leave it outdoors all year round. If left untreated, the teak will turn from its original light, golden colour to a beautiful silvery grey but should you prefer the golden colour, all you need to do is wash the bench with soapy water, or apply one of Rattan and Teak’s teak care products.

At 1.8m in length, the Shakespeare 180cm Teak Memorial Bench can accommodate up to 5 people comfortably.
