Perfect on the patio or under your favorite tree, the Ellsworth 4-Foot Garden Glider is an attractive and comfortable choice. Constructed of durable shorea wood, this glider is meant for outdoor use. Shorea is a strong, dense wood that resists mold, mildew, and rot through all kinds of weather. You'll love the relaxing feeling you get from the smooth gliding on this piece. Contoured armrests and a contoured seat offer added comfort. This durable glider is sized right for two and can support up to 440 pounds.
Shorea is possibly the best wood choice for outdoor furniture. While related to Burma Teak, this hardwood grows naturally and plentifully in the Pacific Rim countries, making it considerably less expensive than teak. Because shorea contains an abundance of natural oils, it's dense, heavy, and hard, and it's highly resistant to rot, bug infestation, wear, and marring.
