Every hand finished piece has its own character
Each piece of furniture is chemically etched by hand after the zinc coating is applied leaving an antique finish. The joy of these hand processes means that every piece has its own character that evolves with age and improves as the product weathers. Colours can vary from light to dark grey. The finish is always varied, it is not a paint and is not intended to be completely uniform, which adds to the charm of these unique pieces.
The table and chairs are structurally guaranteed for 25 years, but our testing suggests that all the Southwold Furniture Collection can be genuinely considered as heirloom pieces that will last for generations if looked after.
Southwold Coffee Table
The Southwold Coffee Table is a low height, rectangle table measuring 1.1m long, 55cm wide and standing 44cm high and is ideal with our carver chairs, side chairs and benches.
Southwold Chairs and Benches
The Southwold Carver Chairs (with arms), Side Chairs (without arms) and Benches in the sets have been designed to be both comfortable and beautiful. The material has been carefully selected using different thicknesses of steel to ensure the right amount of 'give' while retaining structural strength. The chair and bench legs use 8mm thick steel for strength and rigidity and the seat bases and backs use 3mm slats to give comfort and spring to the seat. The scrolled arms on the Carver Chairs and Benches (with backs) use 5mm thick steel strip.
