One review said the seat is NOT real teak - Is that correct?

Yes it is real as it states right in the heading that it is real teak wood. It's a great deal too.

I don't know if it is or not. However, I have had this installed in two showers, one for three years and the other for two and both are performing like teak in that they are not cracking, the finish is holding up and they looks good.

I don't know if the seat is genuine teak wood. Mine has been used almost daily in a shower for 1 year and the wood still looks good.

I think it's teak which is not pressure treated. Made it through the winter and still looks nice

There is nothing that came with it that said what it is made of. It feels like some of it is wood and some is not, for example, the backing is mdf and the feet are some type of very hard resin. I'm saying resin because the thing is very heavy and the feet definitely support it. The finish is very pretty, so to tell you truth, I wouldn't be upset if someone proved to me it isn't wood. My husband's take was that it wouldn't be affected by humidity so the drawers won't stick. :) But I would say, if it is wood, it is only part wood. But I cannot tell by look or touch. At to the height, the legs get attached on site after delivery, and they do bring it to 32" high. I was worried about that too, because I had another chest in the spot and it was too high (it was 42" and very awkward). When the unit came, I wasn't sure if I liked it - I kind of did, but I originally had something painted and very oriental in mind, but I saw that the height was good for my spot. That was a relief. It is hard to picture height, but 32" is about the height of a bathroom counter. (Kitchen counters are 4" higher. I will see if I can post some customer pix on Amazon - might help.) I wish the stock photo had something in it to give a frame of reference because it is hard to tell how it will look. But now, I love it, it has grown on me. I can keep my phone books and some photos and mail in it and the height is very comfortable. I love the marble top. I had to have a glass top made for my other tables to keep them from getting scratched, but the glass then requires a scarf, etc. Hope this helps you.

Yes it is comfortable and it is real teak wood. We did seal it before we used it and is holding up very good!

Yes, there is a pretty, rich-looking pattern on the seat. I'm lousy at identifying colors, but what I seen online, especially if you enlarge the pic as far as possible, is a true color. It's very nice.

I ' also bought one. Have not yet attached the toilet seat yet. I have oiled the seat top and letting it dry, I will also put a coat or two of veneer oil stain on the back side, where urine is likely to be splattered on.. wood absorbs liquids naturally. looks to be made of wood to me.. It arrived in great shape there should of been a little more packaging ( stuffing paper or ? ) like at the bottom of the box... not just on top.. should have a cushion in case it's dropped during its shipping. I'd say I had a great carrier, because it came undamaged..

I think the color on Amazon is pretty true (on my monitor at least). I'd describe it as a rich teak color.

The seat is a light wood, perhaps pine? It's a thick, solid piece and is finished very nicely with a smooth, semi-gloss finish. No cracks. They feel very sturdy and even with the seats up high from the base, they are not flimsy or wobbly. I'm very pleased with them. I bought one, just to try it out and ended up buying 3 more because I liked them so much. And for the price, it's an awesome deal.

It says in the Product Description that it is bonded leather. If you google bonded leather you will see it is not true leather but almost like a veneer layer of leather over something else. In spite of that we decided to give these chairs a try and we are very happy with them! They look nice and the assembly is pretty easy. After sitting in them for a movie I am ready to get up and walk around as they start to feel uncomfortable but that might just be me. Overall, we are very happy that we bought them and we actually now own 4 !

I cannot believe that was someone's serious concern. It is painted wood. It is plywood, pine most likely with several coats of paint and it looks great even after much use. Hope you were not wanting teak or ebony at that price.

My husband put the chair together and he isn't sure if it is solid or a very good imitation. However, it is a solid piece of furniture that we both would recommend purchasing.

Thank you for your inquiry, and interest in our product. Yes the seat of the teak bench does have a slight curve down. If you have any other questions, please do not hesitate to ask.

No, it is not "real" leather. Some distributors are calling it Bicast leather which is described in Wikipedia as " A material made with a split leather backing covered with a layer of polyurethane that is applied to the surface and then embossed. Because it is only used for the backing, the leather portion of this material is generally not visible in finished goods made from Bicast. Bicast was originally made for the apparel industry for glossy shoes, and recently was adopted by the furniture industry. The resulting product has an artificially consistent texture that is easier to clean and maintain, as is the case with most plastic materials." That being said.. I am still quite happy with this purchase. It is holding up well to my grandchildren and my feet are propped up on it every night and the padding always returns to it's original form. The wood is not the highest quality out there but then neither is the price ;). It is perfect to have around the kids and just not worry about..and still look good in a common area.

It has a tweed-like appearance but it is soft to the touch. I have two of the same chairs and on one of them, the fabric has loosened and puckered a little in one of the seat corners - not a deal breaker, but it's something to consider.

Chairs are holding up fine. inherent in teakwood is a natural weathering.you can freshen up the set using teak oil

I like the chair and i dont think the fabric looks cheap. Initially i did think it might be a cheap chair, but not because of the fabric.... it was hard as a rock out of the box! But, after sitting on it a dozen times, it has softened up and now i use it all the time. Hope that helps!
