What makes this curved-back garden bench a bit different? It's made of kapur wood, a Southeast Asian hardwood which is almost as dense as teak but is much more affordable. Kapur is also certified by the Tropical Forest Trust due to its responsible harvesting. You can acquire it for $199 from the Gardener's Supply Company — a group that offers all manner of eco-efficient garden items.
