Teak is one of the hardest and most durable woods available. Teak is inherently tight grained, which gives a beautiful smooth surface and appearance. It requires very little care and these characteristics make it the ideal wood for good quality furniture.
Teak, unlike other hard woods such as Oak does not need oiling, staining, painting or lacquering to help maintain its durability. It does however look gorgeous when stained to mid brown tones to give it a darker elegance and beauty. When left unstained, there is a natural rawness to the wood, which beautifies and deepens with age as it develops a silver grey patina when left completely untreated.
This exotic wood is sourced from Indonesia and plantations are controlled by the government agencies. The teak trees found in South-East Asia forests reach a height of up to 150 feet, have reddish-green leaves with rough skin, and heartwood that is brown to dark gold in color. Of the main teak producing regions, Indonesian teak is considered to be of the highest quality in the world.
Indonesia is very committed to preserving the Teak tree through both practical and visionary government programs. It is only through Perum Perhutani (Forestation Company of Government) that Indonesia can supply Teak wood for export. Not only this, but because of the skill of the local woodworkers and artisans, Indonesia produces some of the most unique and interesting furniture products to be found anywhere in the world.
The manufacture of teak furniture and accessories is very eco-friendly. Teak wood simply needs refinement once it has been harvested and trees are a minimum of 40 years old when they are cut down. Additionally the durability of teak furniture allows for a lifetime of use, thus preventing the need to purchase replacement furniture.
Some manufactures prefer to use reclaimed teak wood. Reusing old wood in new ways has become increasingly popular. Reclaimed Teak is as strong and durable as new teak. This old wood looks amazing when fused with modern contemporary designs, and the natural beauty of the wood with its subtle colour variations, tiny cracks and small nail holes, adds warmth and character to your home.

Teak is so easy to maintain, which makes it the perfect choice for a room where accidents and spills can happen.
When furnishing your dining room it can look great if you create some contrast. Teak dining tables look very stylish when combined with natural rattan chairs, and with their natural fibres, these will also make for a comfortable dining experience - ideal for long dinner parties with friends. The colours of the natural fibres are not consistently the same, which means that each chair has an individual character. The texture is very different to smooth wood and these chairs bring an exotic feel to your home.
