| I'm thinking about buying some benches for the garden but, being new to this, (me and my partner having just moved in), I was looking for some advice.
Also, my friend uses Twitter when he came across this company @rootandstone, (again, all this is new to me). Passing the site onto me, (http://rootandstone.co.uk ), I had a look around and the prices seemed reasonable, (I think?). I'm still unsure as how best to proceed though as I'm not fully versed on what the upkeep of this sort of thing is especially in regards to weather and such. So if anybody out there can offer any form of advice in regards to this I'd be most grateful. |

| I think no one has answered because it isn't clear what you're asking? Are you asking if it's a good price? Are you asking how to take care of teak? Or are you asking whether you should be considering it for your area in the first place? I have teak furniture outside here in Florida. I have to oil it about twice a year. It's sturdy enough to seem like it will last for another generation or two, so in that respect it's worth its cost... but I hate oiling it and would rather have something carefree even if it was "throwaway" sometimes. I don't know your area, so I can't answer as to whether teak would perform and live the same for you. I'm assuming that by now this decision has been made? What did you decide? ~Bridget |

| hi If you want furniture for your garden then it is wise to buy only the best. And a great choice would be to buy teak garden furniture. Teak is easy for a craftsman to work with, allowing it to be fashioned into first grade furniture. The natural oils in the wood make it very durable and requiring little maintenance making it ideal for use in your garden. |
