Teak is a high-quality yellow to dark-brown hardwood. It’s generally straight-grained with a coarse, uneven texture and an oily feel. Noted for its heaviness and durability, it was originally used for shipbuilding and is now often used for high-caliber outdoor furniture and decking.

An outstanding feature of teak outdoor furniture is the ability to withstand all types of weather. It is one of the few kinds of wood in the world containing a natural oil which repels water, keeping it from warping, cracking or becoming brittle.

Teak is a hardwood that is an excellent wood material.
