Features/Benefits

This traditional FSC certified teak Chester Memorial Bench has been crafted to last. 

Honour cherished memories with the classic Chester memorial bench. Exquisitely crafted from premium, sustainably sourced teak, this timeless bench offers both comfort and enduring quality. Its classic slatted design and gently curved arms evoke a sense of dignity, making it the perfect tribute for gardens, parks, or any cherished outdoor space.

Renowned for its natural durability, teak weathers gracefully, developing a beautiful silver patina over time, while remaining strong and resistant to the elements. The Chester Memorial Bench provides a welcoming seat for reflection and remembrance, whether as a tribute to a loved one or as a lasting gift to your community.

·    Personalisation options available – add carved inscription or an engraved plaque.

·      Available in two sizes 1.5m and 1.8m to suit any setting. 

Create a meaningful place to pause, reflect, and remember with the classic Teak Chester Memorial Bench – a beautiful legacy for generations to come.

The bench is made of FSC certified plantation teak providing you with a long lasting, stable, strong but "soft to the touch" bench sourced from responsibly managed forests. 

The leg profile is 55x55mm giving a stable foundation and structure to the bench.

The Chester doesn't have any wood lamination. Lamination is used in the industry to reduce costs, it involves glueing pieces of wood together, in places like back leg at the angle or the top rail. We have seen examples of wood delaminating over time and avoid it on our own bench designs.

The main mortise and tenon joints are manufactured so that when the dowel is driven into place, the joint is pulled tight. With a properly constructed joint assembled in this manner, glueing is not required.

When you receive the bench, it will be fully assembled.

Engraving
This bench can accommodate 2 lines of engraving on the top rail. The maximum number of carved letters is 55 characters on the first line and 55 characters on the second line (including spaces). The seat rail can also take 2 lines of 1 inch high engraving. The V carved letters are typically 0.3inch/8mm deep, depending on the font type and size. This depth of carving takes a lot of machining time but the result is an inscription which is crisp, clear and readable. The middle of the top rail is wide and ideal for extra personalisation.

Choose how many lines of engraving you require, then type the inscription above the "Add to cart" button. Finally, select your font type from the drop down list and add it to cart. 

We offer free design proof, please choose this option if you require one. 

We aim to make the letters as large as possible, for example if you choose one line instead of three, then the letter height is likely to be larger.

You can further personalise your bench by adding the following: 

• 2d clipart carving to wood, 
• 3d clipart carving to wood, 
• photo carving to wood,  
• logo carving to wood.
