Bench With Rattan Rapat

The Bench with Rattan Rapat is a seating fixture constructed from solid teak wood, combined with tightly woven natural rattan panels. Teak forms the primary structural framework of this unit, visible in the legs, armrests, and perimeter frame of the backrest. The overall dimensions measure 110.00 cm in width, 74.00 cm in total height, and 46.00 cm in depth. The packaged volume of the bench occupies 0.3700 cubic meters.

The structural skeleton relies on mortise and tenon joinery techniques typical of hardwood furniture manufacturing. Four legs provide vertical support, each connected by horizontal stretcher rails positioned near the floor to minimize lateral movement and reinforce the load-bearing capacity of the base. The front legs transition upward into armrests, creating a continuous wooden profile along the sides of the seating area. The rear legs extend upward to support the backrest frame, which holds the woven rattan insert.

The seating surface consists of a flat wooden plank set flush with the side rails, providing a rigid horizontal plane. Below this wooden seat, additional structural supports run front-to-back to prevent sagging under weight. The backrest utilizes a rectangular wooden border that encases a tightly woven rattan panel, referred to in the specification as rattan rapat, meaning dense or closed-weave rattan. This weaving method involves narrow strands of rattan peel interlaced closely together with minimal gaps, producing a uniform, opaque textured surface that acts as a solid backing for the upper back.

Teak wood features natural oils that provide resistance to moisture and decay, making this material suitable for indoor environments and covered exterior areas. The wood surface is sanded smooth to the touch while retaining the natural grain patterns and light golden-brown coloration inherent to mature teak. The rattan material used in the backrest insert is harvested from climbing palms, processed into uniform strands, and manually woven into the frame. The tight configuration of the weave distributes pressure evenly when leaning against the backrest.

The horizontal footprint spans 110.00 cm, accommodating seating space for two individuals. The depth of 46.00 cm provides sufficient room for a standard seating posture, while the 74.00 cm height places the top edge of the backrest at a level that supports the upper back without obstructing room sightlines. The armrests sit parallel to the floor, integrated directly into the side frames at a height designed to support the lower arms when seated.

Maintenance requirements for this bench involve standard wood and natural fiber care. The teak surfaces can be cleaned with a damp cloth and treated periodically with teak oil to preserve the original color tone, or left untreated to develop a weathered gray patina over time. The rattan section requires dry dusting or gentle vacuuming with a brush attachment to remove debris from the narrow crevices between the woven strands. The entire unit ships as a rigid assembly with a total volume displacement of 0.3700 m3, requiring clearance considerations for doorways and room placement based on the specified 110 cm width and 46 cm depth parameters.
