Teak is often revered as the "king of wood" due to its unique characteristics that make it highly desirable for outdoor furniture. Here’s a closer look at its benefits:
Natural Beauty
Teak outdoor furniture boasts a natural, timeless aesthetic characterized by a rich golden-brown hue and unique grain patterns. The inherent beauty of teak is attributed to its natural oils and fine grain, which create a warm and elegant ambiance.
Weather and Moisture Resistance
Known for its exceptional resistance to weather conditions, teak furniture can withstand the elements without losing its structural integrity. Its high oil content forms a natural barrier against moisture, preventing warping, cracking, and decay, making it perfect for outdoor use.
Longevity
Teak furniture is celebrated for its durability, often lasting decades with minimal wear. The dense grain structure and natural oils protect it from insects, fungi, and general degradation, making teak a smart, long-term investment.
Low Maintenance
Teak requires minimal upkeep due to its natural oils that fend off pests, mold, and mildew. This self-sustaining property reduces the need for regular cleaning or protective treatments, appealing to those who prefer hassle-free outdoor furnishings.
Sustainable Sourcing
Often harvested from sustainable plantations, teak promotes eco-friendly practices in the furniture industry. Managed plantations ensure a reliable supply without contributing to deforestation, making teak a responsible choice for environmentally conscious consumers.
Timeless Elegance
Teak’s classic beauty complements various design styles, from contemporary to traditional. Its enduring appeal transcends trends, adding a sophisticated touch to outdoor spaces and ensuring a cohesive design aesthetic.
Resistance to Decay
Teak's natural resistance to decay is a key advantage, allowing it to withstand prolonged exposure to harsh elements. The high oil content inhibits decay-causing organisms, ensuring the wood remains robust and reliable for outdoor use.

Long-lasting Durability
Teak outdoor furniture can last 70 years or more, thanks to its tightly packed grains and natural oils that repel pests.
Flexibility
Unlike other hardwoods, teak is flexible enough to avoid warping under stress, making it ideal for outdoor furniture that endures humidity and weather changes.
Eco-friendly Options
With growing concerns about deforestation, reclaimed teak furniture offers an environmentally friendly alternative. By recycling used teak, furniture makers reduce the need for new timber, ensuring a sustainable approach.
At Satara, we prioritize sustainability in our furniture sourcing. One of the most popular materials at Satara is recycled teak. As we become more aware of sustainable materials and seek products which exude a genuine warmth and individuality, recycled teak ticks all of the boxes. Sourced from Indonesia, with its innate strength and beauty, recycled teak is revered by both furniture makers and buyers alike. The much-loved timber once grew in abandon, soaring to the top of the forest canopies across Indonesia although now its a rarity. As the timber grew uninterrupted for many years, its resilience and beauty was further strengthened with age.
