Product Description
Amazon.com Review
Outdoor furniture doesn't have to be ruggedly styled to be durable, as Oxford's Chadwick collection proves. This elegant armchair combines Oxford's sophisticated design and superior manufacturing, and the result is yours to enjoy for years. The chair is crafted from Shorea wood, a semihardwood similar to teak, and is ideally suited for outdoor use. While rain and sun can damage lesser woods, Oxford's armchair will endure season after season in your garden, weathering to a warm shade of gray. Built using mortise-and-tenon joinery (the most structurally sound method), the armchair features solid wood dowel construction. You will receive the chair partially assembled; it only takes about 30 minutes to complete the assembly.
Product Description
Made of dense and heavy shorea wood, this Chadwick arm chair is ideal for rugged outdoor areas. While sturdy, it is also admired for its gracefully arching back. The Chadwick arm chair is our widest from arm to arm and makes an excellent dining table chair or an additon to a group setting. This arm chair is made of shorea, a teak family wood that is more dense and heavy than teak. Shorea requires no finishing and will not rot when left outdoors where rain and sun will damage other lesser quality woods. Left untreated, shorea will weather to a soft warm shade of gray similar to the weathering of teak. Sturdy mortise and tenon construction provides the highest quality joinery that will last for many years. Original color can be maintained by applying a seasonal coat of teak oil.

A New Outdoor Space,
By Christine H. (King of Prussia, PA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Oxford Garden Chadwick Collection Armchair (Lawn & Patio)
An unused outdoor patio was transformed by the addition of the Oxford Chadwick Armchairs and other coordinating Oxford pieces. I had initially wanted to purchase teak furniture but after visiting several garden stores and searching on-line I was discouraged by the high price. One of the garden stores suggested shorea as an alternative, sighting the similar qualities to teak less the high price. Remembering an insert in the Sunday paper I search Amazon.com plus several other sites. I choose to make my purchase from Amazon.com because of their reputation and also I could not find a better price anywhere! The pieces arrived and were very easy to assemble. The quality is as good as any of the higher priced garden stores. My once unused space is now furnished better that some indoor rooms of my house! I was so pleased I told a friend who purchased a table and 4 matching chairs!

Quality and Style -- Take it from a Wood Worker,
By Douglas V. Smith (Portsmouth, Rhode Island United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Oxford Garden Chadwick Collection Armchair (Lawn & Patio)
I was surprised and pleased to receive the four Chadwick Collection Oxford Garden Designs armchairs I ordered only three days earlier. As a wood worker myself, I was amazed at the quality of construction, elegance of design and sturdiness of the assembled chairs. While the first chair took about fifteen minutes to assemble while reading instructions, the remaining three took only about five each. More importantly, the shorea wood came very close to matching the teak wood table I also bought (just a shade more red and with a bit less distinctive wood grain), thereby saving me about half the price of teak chairs. Moreover, the shorea wood chairs are noticably more substantial in weight and therefore would seem more durable. The only negative with the chairs was some small glue spots which became apparent with dampness. About ten minutes of light hand sanding corrected the problem for all four chairs. I couldn't be more delighted with the quality and workmanship of the chairs and have considered taking off the metal labels to encourage friends to think I made them!

Pleased, but...,
By A Customer
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Oxford Garden Chadwick Collection Armchair (Lawn & Patio)
I spent an hour today putting together two of the Oxford Garden Desighns Chadwick Collection armchairs, plus the rectangular dining table. They were really easy to put together - so easy, in fact, that I'm a bit worried that they won't hold up. They are very attractive, however, so I have my fingers crossed. In all seriousness, they do seem at least as well put together as what I found in stores (and for much less money). The only drawback is that imperfections in some of the wood pieces, which I understand are normal, can't be easily dealt with (or swapped out), as would presumably be the case if I'd bought these locally.
