Garden furniture with lasting appeal
Teak is an extremely dense-grained wood and is highly resistant to rotting, warping, shrinkage, and swelling, which makes it ideal for outdoor garden and patio furniture. Teak can be left in its natural state, or can be sanded and then rubbed with teak oil to bring back the original honey color. When left untreated, teak wood has a life expectancy of 75 years. It has been claimed that some teak benches still in use today in England's public parks are made of recycled decking from old sailing ships, and are nearly a century old!

Investment in Value: Low-Maintenance Teak Furniture
Teak is also one of the easiest of woods to care for. It will thrive with absolutely no care whatsoever and over time will develop a patina of silver gray as it ages. Most teak is harvested from renewable government plantations in Indonesia, which makes it an ecologically friendly wood. Indonesian teak is considered by many teak furniture manufacturers to be the highest quality of teak wood available in the world today. Teak is generally kiln dried, which ensures the wood is dried to the core, unlike air drying, and is generally all made with mortise and tendon joinery, a superior method of construction which results in more solid and durable pieces of furniture. Many manufacturers will use solid brass castings, screws, and bolts in the construction of their furniture. Brass hardware will never rust, even when left outside in all weather conditions. The highest quality teak furniture is typically fully machine made, which guarantees more uniformity and a more perfectly finished product.

Teak comes in many timeless and classic styles. Whether you're looking for a dining table with matching chairs, a single garden bench, a steamer chair, a chaise lounge, a Adirondack chair, or any of the other many styles available, teak furniture is sure to deliver lasting value and beauty through the years.
