Chadwick Outdoor Armchair by Oxford Garden

The classic design of each chair is made with exceptional craftmanship and attention to detail. The Chadwick Armchair by Oxford Garden is made of quality shorea wood, a tropical hardwood. Shorea is closely related to teak, and is therefore well-suited for use in furniture making. It is renowned for its strength, durability, and beauty. Like teak, shorea has natural oils that allow it to withstand the effects of sun, rain, snow, and frost.

About Shorea Wood
Shorea is possibly the best wood choice for outdoor furniture. Related to Burma teak, this hardwood grows naturally and plentifully in the Pacific Rim countries, making it considerably less expensive than teak. Because shorea contains an abundance of natural oils and is dense, heavy, and hard, it is highly resistant to rot, bug infestation, weather, and marring.

Shorea is strong and weather-resistant enough to be left untreated. If left untreated, each piece will weather to a nice shade of gray. The weathering process will change the color, but the grain will still be smooth. There is no splitting or splintering. You may treat each piece of your set with teak oil to prolong weathering. Each piece is durable, classic, and elegant.

An Eco-Friendly Choice
We realize the importance of preserving our environment. Our shorea wood is imported from Java, which is diligently managed by its government to ensure wise, renewable harvesting and fair prices. Rest assured knowing you are making a responsible choice when you purchase this set crafted from shorea.
