Product Description

Amazon.com Review

This armchair combines Oxford's sophisticated design and superior manufacturing, and the result is yours to enjoy for years. The elegant armchair 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 Classic armchair will endure season after season in your garden, weathering to a warm shade of gray. An ideal complement to Oxford's dining table, the armchair was built using mortise-and-tenon joinery (the most structurally sound method) and 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 classic arm chair is ideal for rugged outdoor areas. It is very sturdy yet graceful. Our arm chair is very ample in width and makes an excellent dining table chair or an additon to a group setting. This 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.

2.0 out of 5 stars parts don't line up, September 4, 2001

This review is from: Oxford Garden Classic Shorea Armchair (Lawn & Patio)

I bought this chair and the 48" bench. The bench assembled easily and all the parts lined up. Unfortunately, the chair did not. The parts did not line up. Since the dowel rods used to assemble the chair do not come out easily, I was stuck. Fortunately, with a cushion on the chair it's hardly noticeable. If you buy this chair, I would suggest placing the pieces together to make sure they line up. Something I should've done. Once you start assembling, you can't start over. I would also suggest getting a cushion for the back. This chair is uncomfortable if you sit in it for more than 20 minutes.

3.0 out of 5 stars A little rough around the edges, September 16, 2001

All in all, you are getting what you pay for. The furniture is solid enough, but within a month, we are experiencing some big fissures developing in the wood. Nothing that will cause structural integrity issues, but bad enough that it catches your eye. Then again, we are paying about a third less than true teak stuff.
