Bangku Antik

The Bangku Antik is a traditional wooden bench measuring 200.00 cm in width, 65.00 cm in depth, and 93.00 cm in total height. Fabricated entirely from solid teak wood, the bench weighs 45.00 kg and occupies a total volume of 1.2400 cubic meters in transport. Teak wood is chosen for its dense grain structure and natural oil content, which provides inherent resistance to moisture and decay without requiring synthetic sealants.

The seating surface spans the full 200 cm width, accommodating three adults comfortably. The seat depth of 65 cm allows for an upright posture or the addition of loose cushions depending on preference. The backrest rises to 93 cm from the floor, constructed with vertical wooden slats framed by thicker structural members that provide rigid lumbar support. The armrests are integrated directly into the side posts, positioned at a fixed height to support the arms while seated.

Joinery techniques follow traditional woodworking methods, utilizing mortise and tenon joints secured with wooden dowels rather than visible metal fasteners. This method accommodates the natural expansion and contraction of teak wood caused by changing humidity and temperature conditions. The legs are an extension of the primary vertical frame elements, positioned at the extreme corners of the bench to distribute the 45 kg weight evenly and prevent tipping or wobbling on uneven flooring surfaces.

The surface finish retains the natural color and grain pattern of raw teak, treated with a fine-sanding process that leaves the wood smooth to the touch while avoiding glossy varnishes or heavy lacquers. Minute surface variations, such as subtle grain shifts and minor knots, are characteristic of genuine teak timber and remain visible across the panels. The backrest features hand-carved detailing along the top rail, consisting of geometric motifs inspired by classical Indonesian regional woodworking traditions. These carvings are shallow-relief incisions executed directly into the solid wood planking.

Maintenance requirements for the Bangku Antik are minimal due to the durability of the teak material. Routine cleaning involves wiping the surfaces with a dry or damp cloth to remove dust and debris. If placed in an outdoor, covered environment, the teak will naturally weather to a silver-gray patina over time, though applying a teak oil periodically will maintain the original golden-brown hue. The dense composition of the wood prevents insects and fungi from penetrating the core, ensuring structural stability across decades of daily use in residential or semi-public interiors.

Transport and placement require two individuals due to the 45 kg weight and the 200 cm length, which prevents maneuvering through narrow or winding corridors without adequate clearance. The flat base rests firmly on interior flooring materials such as hardwood, tile, or low-pile carpet without requiring wall anchors or additional stabilization hardware. The 1.2400 CBM shipping volume reflects the fully assembled state of the bench, delivered in crated packaging designed to protect the carved backrest and protruding armrests during transit. Every dimension, from the 200 cm span to the 65 cm depth, is proportioned for standard room layouts, fitting against large living room walls, wide entryways, or covered patios where substantial seating capacity is required.
