Teak Furniture



Teak is a tall, sturdy, evergreen tree indigenous to the tropical climate of SE Asia. Teak wood has been a favourite among shipbuilders in centuries past for its durability. It is a tight-grained hardwood with a high oil content making it impervious to the salty wind and water, withering sunlight, and lashing rains of the sea (or even the wildness of your own backyard!) Teak weathers gracefully, maturing to an elegant, silvery grey over time.
