Teak has the greatest ability of any wood to withstand the elements.
Due to the oil and rubber found naturally in the wood, it has the
ability to resist splintering, warping and rotting. That is why it
is the preferred choice for boats, aircraft carriers and our furniture!
Some companies only sell pre-oiled
teak, which is generally third grade wood, oiled to hide defects.
Also, our bench slats are generally thicker than most and are commercial
grade. Ask our competitors for referrals, how long they have been
in business, etc. Are they a legitimate furniture business or just
a virtual “internet” store
with a fancy website?
- Indonesian Teak is much denser and weighs more.
- Indonesian Teak will not splinter.
- Indonesian Teak is much stronger.
- Plantation grown and Government maintained by Perum Perhutani – replanting
and controlled harvesting of 400 year old Dutch plantations.
- Indonesian teak tree has a 60-80 year growing time compared to
7-10 years of a South American teak tree.
All of our furniture is delivered
fully assembled. Kits that other companies sell can be EXTREMELY
DIFFICULT to assemble, regardless of what you are told, and one
mistake with a dowel or glue and you’ve got an unstable table
for life!
