NEW BEAUTIFUL FINISH

We are really excited to be starting our new range of ready oiled furniture, next week we will be adding pictures of the new finish which will be arriving mid August.  Because we are now changing the finish we will be having a big sale of the remaining untreated furniture, which is still excellent furniture but if you like the golden color teak you just have to oil it. Here are some pictures of the new finish.

We have also had lots of lovely emails this week from happy customers which you can see on our Manor teak furniture reviews / testimonials page on our website.
We had an email from Kent who was given a bench for his place on Swan's Island in Maine,

I was given a 60" Manor Teak Bench.  I was surprised that no assembly instructions were enclosed with it, nor does your uTube video seem to function.  The assembly was pretty straightforward, however, and I got the bench together, but there are two things that gave me pause.  The diameter of the dowels seemed a bit large for the holes drilled in the bench.  In fact, I noticed that one of them started a crack in the surrounding wood as I carefully tapped in the dowel with a wooden mallet.  I immediately stopped driviing the dowel, took it out and whittled it down before tapping it in and trimming it flush.  The other odd thing is that there were five screws included in the package, but I only found four predrilled holes under the seat.  Did I miss one or did you include an extra screw?  Other than that it is a very nice bench.

We have realized that we do need to include some kind of instructions with the benches and we are working on a sheet to include with the bench or to add to the website. Because we know that the dowels are often a bit too big but you just need to force them in and it doesn't matter if they split you just cut off and sand down the ends or like Kent you whittle them down a bit, they don't even need to go all the way in. We have never used the screws as we don't feel they are necessary and have no idea why we get sent 5 (maybe a spare?) One day we will ask our supplier. But thanks to Kent we realize we should add all these details to a leaflet or put the details on our website somewhere. We replied to Kent telling him this and he kindly sent us some pictures of the bench which looked lovely on his fabulous property.
