The Best Teak Benches for a Sophisticated Garden or Patio

Some outdoor pieces never go out of style—and a teak bench is one of them. Whether placed on a front porch, nestled in a garden, or lining a walkway, the right bench brings a quiet elegance to any outdoor space, and can even serve as a focal point in your yard.

It also doesn't hurt that Grade A teak is known for its natural resistance to weather, wear, and time. The result? Heirloom-quality pieces that only get better with age. From classic silhouettes to more contemporary lines, here are a few of our favorites.
