Teak is a fine wood for outdoor furniture with a beautiful pattern, exotic scent and strong structural properties. So a teak dining set is an excellent choice for a focal point to your outdoor living area. Dining tables with or without extensions can be accompanied by a mix of traditional dining chairs or benches.

The high oil and rubber content of teak furniture make it virtually immune to rot. So when Britannia ruled the waves, teak's weatherproof qualities made chairs like the Steamer a favorite on steamships. Today it is still one of the most popular loungers and chaises lounges.

When tall wooden ships became obsolete, ships' carpenters fashioned the first teak furniture from salvaged timbers, and a tradition was born. Today many classic English park teak benches are still in regular use after 70 years. Maintenance free without paint or preservatives, natural teak furniture weathers to a silvery grey patina with exposure to the elements.
