History

Memorial benches’ parent company, Classic Teak, is a third generation privately owned company, established in 1923.

Teak, the material that is used in the production of our furniture, is one of nature's most durable woods.

All manufacturing is carried out at our works in Hartlepool where furniture is hand built by experienced craftsmen with an eye for detail and concern for outstanding quality of finish. Mortise and Tenon joinery are typical of the traditional methods employed. Brass and stainless steel fittings are widely used, whilst screws are concealed by teak plugs.

It is widely recognised that the sections of the material used in the production of our memorial bench range make it the most solid, substantial and the finest available on the market today.
