Does anyone have any recommendations for oak garden chairs/seats?

Trying to find a nice bench and also two armchairs but has been a slow
trawl through websites etc but either the benches are (at 6oo pounds)
way out of my league or they have solid backs.

Don't laugh, but... ebay? Searching for 'bench' in Gardening & Plants turns
up 243 hits, some of which seem like what you're after at slightly more sane
prices. You can also search for items within XX miles of postcode to find
ones within collecting distance.

Just an idea...
