Teak is a natural product widely used for outdoor furniture because of its strong properties. All our teak is untreated and comes from Indonesia, one of the best regions for high-quality teak. Because teak is a natural product, natural variations in color and texture may occur. When exposed to weather conditions, the wood will slowly gray, giving it a characteristic and natural look. In addition, small cracks may appear in the wood over time. This is a natural process and does not affect the quality or durability of the furniture. These cracks occur because teak expands and shrinks depending on the weather and humidity. To extend the life of your teak furniture and maintain its natural look, we recommend treating the wood once a year with our SUNS Wood Protector. This will keep your teak wood protected from external influences such as water and UV light.
