Most outdoor chairs are built to be replaced
Most outdoor chairs look fine in a showroom and feel uncomfortable after 20 minutes. You end up going back inside. And within three seasons, the joints are loose, the wood has cracked, and you're replacing it - again.
Sound familiar? You're not alone. It's how most outdoor furniture is designed - to be replaced.
The Nordwood difference
Amata Nordwood Garden Bench is handcrafted from pressure-treated Northern European pine with stainless steel fixings — built to hold its shape and its strength for decades, not seasons. Classic proportions that fit beside a greenhouse, on a patio, or along a garden path. Comfortable enough to actually sit on for an afternoon, not just look at.
One chair. Built once. Stays in your garden for life.
WHERE SCANDINAVIAN CRAFTSMANSHIP MEETS OUTDOOR COMFORT
ELEVATE YOUR GARDEN INTO A LIVING SPACE
Built for the weather
Solid Northern European Pine
100% solid pine. No fillers, no composites. The same material used in Nordic construction for centuries.
Stainless Steel Fixings
Every bolt and fitting is stainless steel. Won't rust after the first winter. Won't loosen after the second.
Pressure-Treated at the Core
Not a surface coat. The pine is treated all the way through — rot and insects don't get a foothold after year three, or year fifteen.
FSC® & PEFC® Certified Timber
Every plank from sustainably managed Northern European forests. Zero-waste production since 1992. Wood offcuts are repurposed, not discarded.

Frequently Asked Questions
How long does assembly take?
Most people are done in under an hour. Pre-drilled holes. Labeled parts. One tool included. Customers in their 60s and 70s have built it completely solo. If you've done flat-pack before, this is easier. Printed instructions included — download them before your order arrives if you want a head start.
Will it actually hold up outside year-round?
Yes. The pine is pressure-treated at the core - not a surface coat that weathers off after two winters. Apply a water-based preservative every two years. Re-tighten the bolts occasionally. That's it. Backed by a 5-year warranty. If it fails, we fix it.
Why is this more expensive than Home Depot or Wayfair?
The wood, the fixings, and how it's made. Solid Northern European pine, stainless steel hardware, built the same way since 1992. You're not paying for a brand markup. You're buying a bench you won't replace in three years.
WHAT IF A PART GOES MISSING?
Contact us with your order number and a photo. We ship replacements. Built to last — we support that. Spare parts are available on request for the life of the bench.
IS SOLID PINE ACTUALLY BETTER THAN POLYWOOD OR METAL?
Depends what you care about. Polywood needs less maintenance. Metal benches heat up in summer and freeze in winter. Solid pine is warmer to the touch, refinishable, fully biodegradable, and gains character as it ages. Polywood stays the same. Plastic fades and yellows. Metal rusts at the welds. Pine improves..
CAN IT STAY OUTSIDE IN WINTER?
Yes. Cover it or bring it in during extreme winters to extend life further, but it's built for outdoor use year-round. The pressure treatment handles freeze-thaw cycles the same way it handles summer sun.
