What is teak?
Teak is commonly referred to as the "king of woods" and comes from the Tectona grandis tree. Teak is a dense, densely grained hardwood with a woody color and smooth texture. Because it contains high levels of natural oils and rubber, it is incredibly strong and durable, and highly resistant to extreme weather conditions and decay.
How to measure teak garden furniture
Due to teak's durability, it's no surprise that it's the top choice for those looking to invest in quality outdoor furniture. Before you decide on the teak furniture you need for your space, it is important to take the time to properly measure both the furniture and the space in which it will be placed. All of our teak products are listed with the depth, height and width of each piece so it is important to take note of these measurements.
Use a roll of masking tape to trace the furniture in your yard. This will give you a much more accurate representation of size than simply noting the square footage of your space. Once you've staked out your teak patio furniture, take the time to walk through the garden and see if the setup is right for you.
Things to note;
- Can the dining room chairs slide in and out safely?
- Can you walk around the furniture?
- Is the furniture blocking important routes or exits?
If you are looking for teak furniture that saves space, consider an extendable teak dining table or our teak stacking chairs - perfect for compact outdoor spaces where quality cannot be compromised.
How to care for teak furniture
One of the main benefits of teak is that it is incredibly easy to maintain. Because it is such a dense hardwood, it can withstand even the most extreme weather conditions. Fresh teak is a golden brown color that will age to a beautiful silvery gray hue over time. To prevent teak from aging, all you need to do is sand your furniture and apply a wood treatment once a year. For detailed instructions on caring for teak, see our teak care guide.
If you're happy to let your teak age, it's perfectly fine to leave it alone.
Storage of teak garden furniture
Teak patio furniture can be left outside all year round as the wood's natural oils make it incredibly durable. However, if you want to store your teak to protect the color or to save space in the garden during winter, we recommend storing it in a garage, shed or outbuilding.
What do the different types of teak wood mean?
When shopping for teak garden furniture, you may come across the term "grade". This simply indicates the quality of the teak you are purchasing. There are three types of teak, but those looking for the highest quality teak should always choose grade A. All teak furniture at Luxus is made from grade A teak, which is knot-free and has a dense, tightly curved grain. A grade teak is consistent in color and does not pose the risk of splitting or shrinking over time. At Luxus, our teak is also fully sustainable. All our teak furniture is inspected and comes with an SVLK certificate confirming that the wood has been legally harvested and can be sold in all EU countries.

Soak up the sun in style with a teak sun lounger. Our teak sun loungers are ideal for those looking to relax after a long day. They are comfortable, stylish and made from only the finest teak. Not only can you use it as a lounger, but you can also lay it flat and use it as an extra seat in the garden.
How to choose a quality teak manufacturer
At Luxus, we are committed to providing our customers with only the highest quality, sustainable, A-grade teak. We insist on inspecting every piece of teak that leaves our warehouse and offer full transparency on our sourcing and manufacturing processes. If you're looking to invest in teak patio furniture, here's how to spot a reputable teak dealer.
- Do they state that they offer grade A teak?
- Does the teak come from sustainable cultivation?
- Does the price seem too good to be true? Quality teak is an investment, but it will last a lifetime.
- Can you read impartial reviews from previous customers?
- Upon delivery, make sure the joints are well fitted, tight and clean.
- Does the teak feel solid? Inferior teak can compromise with thinner legs/arms.
