Teak – A resilient, dense, straight grained, strong, and honey-brown hardwood that is very stable. Teak, primarily harvested from plantations in Southeast Asia, is highly resistant to rot and decay and will last for up to 50 or more years, even if untreated with oil or varnish and left out year-round. Teaks natural water resistant oil provides the protection from insects, bacteria and weather damage. Without using a preservative, teak weathers to a silvering gray color. The primary use of teak is in the production of outdoor furniture such as Bistro Table and Chairs.Le Bistro Teak Round Folding Table with Two Folding Teak Sling Chairs Color Black
