Garden Furniture - who makes high quality wood furniture?

I'm looking to buy a high quality wooden chair, maybe also a table and perhaps a bench - which companies make high quality wooden furniture and sell them assembled or flat packed?

As I intend to leave them out all year and they will be subjected to all kinds of extreme conditions (I live near the coast in a pretty exposed area) they must be long lasting.

 

I would look at other materials if you want them to withstand extreme conditions. I'm particularly fond of Nardi who make recyclable composite furniture in a nice array of colours that are certified for commercial use and don't cost a fortune.

 

I bought a teak bench from a local garden centre about 30 yrs ago.
I used to treat it every year or so with teak oil but have not done that in many years now so it's faded to almost silver.
Apart from one slat at the back that has twisted slightly it's fine.
There are no screws anywhere, it's held together with dowels.
It's on my patio so gets lots of sun.

If you have some decent garden centres near you, see what they have to offer.

 

Teak is probably the best option if you want timber.
It has a naturally oily texture which repels water, although the colour will weather as all timbers do.
Better still if its morticed and tenoned together.

 

Thanks for the suggestions, I'll have another hunt around based on those.
