If you are looking for garden furniture which is both practical and aesthetically attractive, perhaps you should think about peanut benches. But before you start looking at the superb selection available, a word of warning as these benches are known by different names, which can lead to some confusion…

The peanut bench is also known as a banana bench and a crescent bench and it is the shape of this furniture which gives it the name, whichever option you decide on! When it comes to teak garden furniture, these are one of the most popular items because, as mentioned above, they are attractive to look at and provide the perfect seating for a cosy corner of the garden or patio area.

If you would like to see just how attractive these benches are – whether you call them peanut, banana or crescent – have a look at www.chicteak.co.uk where you will find a superb selection. While you are there, why not have a look at some of the other furniture ideas for the outdoors, and start planning how you can give your garden or patio a fresh new look for Spring 2012.

Of course, next year sees the Olympics taking place in London and what could be a better way to celebrate the successes of our athletes than by having an Olympic barbecue next July? Your guests will be able to relax on your new garden furniture after a hard day watching the gold medals being won on television, so have a look at the Chic Teak website, place your order and look forward to celebrating Team GB success!
