{"product_id":"giant-oak-chair-bench","title":"Giant Oak Chair — Solid Oak 2-Seater Outdoor Throne","description":"\u003cp\u003eA giant outdoor throne chair in solid Welsh oak — broad enough for two, built to last decades, and imposing enough to become the centrepiece of any garden or outdoor space.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis piece was commissioned by a client who wanted something that couldn't be confused with anything from a garden centre. Solid oak, heavyweight construction, a high carved back with sweeping arms — and enough width across the seat to sit two adults side by side in genuine comfort. The brief was for something that would feel at home in a grand garden but was also made to actually be sat in, season after season, in the Welsh weather. That's what we built.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e Oak is one of the hardest, most weather-resistant native timbers; a piece like this, well maintained, will outlast most garden furniture by decades. The total height of 180 cm gives it a presence that earns its place in any setting.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eDimensions\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eTotal height: 180 cm\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eTotal width: 120 cm\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eInside seat width (back): 80 cm\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eInside seat width (front): 90 cm\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSeat height: 46 cm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e100% solid oak\u003c\/strong\u003e — one of the hardest, most durable outdoor timbers available\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eChoose your finish\u003c\/strong\u003e — supplied unvarnished as standard, or add three coats of Epifanes yacht varnish for lasting colour and sheen (+£50)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSolid hand-built joinery throughout\u003c\/strong\u003e — heavyweight, built to last decades\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e2-seater seat width\u003c\/strong\u003e — genuine comfort for two adults\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e180 cm total height\u003c\/strong\u003e — a commanding presence in any garden\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFully bespoke\u003c\/strong\u003e — dimensions and carved details to your specification\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eYour Version\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis chair can be made wider, taller, or with a single seat if preferred.

Left natural, an unvarnished piece simply silvers over time and asks nothing of you. A varnished piece keeps its rich sheen for a couple of years; after that the varnish may begin to flake or patch, at which point you can simply re-coat it, or let it weather back to that natural silvery-grey. Either way, your oak is fine.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/details\u003e","brand":"FreeRangeDesigns","offers":[{"title":"Unvarnished","offer_id":53500128199031,"sku":"FRD-BEN-OAK-1359","price":2280.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"Varnished (+£50)","offer_id":57222614942071,"sku":"FRD-BEN-OAK-1359","price":2357.66,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0267\/7673\/1729\/files\/giant-oak-chair-bench-cosy-2-seater-7766706.jpg?v=1759412351","url":"https:\/\/freerangingdesigns.com\/en-de\/products\/giant-oak-chair-bench","provider":"FreeRangeDesigns","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
