Teak Outdoor Furniture Buying Guide

Congratulations on your decision to purchase high-quality teak outdoor furniture! Because teak outdoor furniture comes in a wide variety of options, this buying guide will help you select the highest quality outdoor furniture for your family’s needs.

Here is a list of things that you should look for when buying teak outdoor furniture:

100% Class 1 Teak Outdoor Furniture:
Why Class 1? If you’re looking for high-quality teak outdoor furniture, this designation ensures that you receive the absolute best teak wood available and not some inferior type of wood, such as Eucalyptus, Nyatoah, or Shorea. With a Class 1 designation, you can rest assured that you will receive exactly what you pay for. Only teak wood can provide the long-lasting beauty that you and your family desire.

Plantation Grown Teak Outdoor Furniture:
Reforested and government regulated, plantation grown teak wood is carefully monitored to ensure that the quantity and the size of the teak wood that can be used to make furniture is within government guidelines, giving peace of mind to the environmentally conscious consumer. Selecting teak outdoor furniture from a manufacturer that uses plantation grown teak wood also ensures that an equal number of teak trees are re-planted.

No-Knot, Oil-Free Teak Outdoor Furniture:
When shopping for teak outdoor furniture, make sure you select teak wood without knots. Knotted teak wood indicates that the wood is too young and is not as durable as a mature teak wood. Another sign that the teak wood is too young to use is that it is very oily. So, for long-lasting teak outdoor furniture, be sure to choose a teak wood that is oil and knot free.

Solidly Constructed Teak Outdoor Furniture:
The best teak outdoor furniture will stand the test of time. Look for outdoor furniture that uses heavy, rather than light, teak wood. Also, be sure to look for solid pieces of wood and quality brass or stainless steel fittings, which are signs of solid construction.

Kiln-Dried Teak Out Door Furniture:
One of the most important things to note when shopping for teak outdoor furniture is how it was dried prior to construction. High-quality teak wood is not air-dried; instead, it is kiln (a thermally insulated chamber) dried, thoroughly drying it inside a chamber, which increases the stability and hardness of the wood, making it more durable.

Again, congratulations on your decision to purchase high-quality teak outdoor furniture. We hope that this buying guide has helped you make an informed decision.
