Teak Furniture

When you shop for teak furniture look into how the wood was harvested. Inquire to see if the teak wood was cut in a way that did not threaten the natural teak plants' population. Stores that do not threaten the natural teak population will usually advertise their ethics.

These stores also point out that there is a substantial difference between natural and plantation grown teak wood. Have your sales representative explain to you the advantages and disadvantages of each when you shop for teak furniture. Most environmentally conscious buyers feel better knowing that teak wood can remain undisturbed in its natural state.

Teak furniture can be extremely versatile. One new piece introduced for 2008 is the Boston Teak Bar Set. (You can find it online.) This is a trio of table and stools with weather resistant properties. Also note that teak wood is resistant to rotting and shipping as well as termite infestation.
