What is teak?

Commonly referred to as the "king of woods," teak comes from the Tectona grandis tree. Teak is a dense, tightly 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, highly resistant to extreme weather conditions and rot.

How to measure teak garden furniture

Given teak's durability, it's no surprise that it's a top choice for those looking to invest in quality outdoor furniture. Before deciding on the teak furniture you need for your space, take the time to properly measure both the furniture and the room it will be placed in. All of our teak products are listed with the depth, height, and width of each piece, so it's important to note these measurements.

Use a roll of tape to map out the furniture in your garden. This will give you a much more accurate representation of the size than simply noting the square footage of your space. Once you've marked out your teak garden furniture, take the time to walk through the garden and check if the setup is suitable for you.

Things to consider;

Can the dining room chairs be pulled in and out safely?
Can you walk around the furniture?
Does the furniture block important paths or exits?

If you're 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 can't be compromised.

How to care for teak furniture

One of the main advantages of teak is that it's incredibly easy to maintain. Because it's such a dense hardwood, it can withstand even the most extreme weather conditions. Fresh teak has a golden brown color that ages over time to a beautiful silver-gray hue. To prevent teak from aging, you only need to sand your furniture once a year and apply a wood treatment. For detailed instructions on how to care for teak, see our Teak Care Guide.

If you would like your teak to age, it is perfectly fine to leave it alone.

Storage of teak garden furniture

Teak garden furniture can be left outdoors year-round, as the wood's natural oils make it incredibly durable. However, if you plan to store your teak to protect the color or to conserve space in your garden during the winter, we recommend storing it in a garage, shed, or outbuilding.

What do the different types of teak mean?

When purchasing 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 seeking 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. Grade A teak has a consistent color and is not at risk of splitting or shrinking over time. At Luxus, our teak is also completely sustainable. All of our teak furniture is inspected and issued with an SVLK certificate, confirming that the wood was legally harvested and can be sold in all EU countries.

How to choose a high-quality teak manufacturer

At Luxus, we are committed to providing our customers with only high-quality, sustainable, Grade A teak. We insist on inspecting every piece of teak that leaves our warehouse and offer full transparency about our sourcing and manufacturing processes. If you're considering investing in teak garden furniture, here's how to identify a reputable teak dealer.

Do you state that you offer Grade A teak?
Does the teak come from sustainable sources?
Does the price seem too good to be true? High-quality teak is an investment, but one that will last a lifetime.
Can you read unbiased reviews from previous customers?
Upon delivery, make sure that the joints are well fitted, tight and clean.
Does the teak feel solid? With lower-quality teak, there may be compromises with thinner legs/arms.
