Though the world of furniture is slowly being taken over by alternate materials, as far as furniture is concerned, teak still has a very big place and is held in high esteem by consumers across the world.

In fact as far as beauty and longevity is concerned, any furniture even if it is a simple teak garden furniture it really occupies a pride of place in terms of its exquisite looks and adds an air of aristocracy to the entire house.

The best thing about any wooden garden furniture made out of teak wood is that it lasts and lasts for years together and it has a natural protection against borers, termites and decay. There are many families who have left behind their furniture made from teak wood to their descendents and instances of chairs, tables and other furniture being present in a family for more than 100 years is a common sight if the material used has been teak wood.

Why teak is preferred over other materials for making furniture is the fact that it is able to withstand the vagaries of nature and sun, water and other natural elements do not damage furniture made out of this amazing wood called teak. So in many houses you would find tea furniture occupying the pride of place such as patios, sun lounges, summer houses, and even in gardens.

These undoubtedly are the places which catch a lot of sunlight; but in spite of being exposed to sunlight, these furnitures still maintain their freshness and glory even after many decades of use. In fact outdoor umbrellas made using teak wood as a base frame, it perhaps unmatched and even today no metal can compare with this wood. If you are the sort of a person who would like to spend a lot of time in your garden or the portico, then you would most probably like to have some Teak Garden Tables adorning your garden

However, there are some basic cares that are expected to be taken as far as furniture made from teak is concerned. Polishing it regularly and subjecting it to some chemical treatments will go a long way in maintaining any furniture ranging from tables, sofas and Teak Garden Chairs for those who believe that the best way to spend a day would be out in the warm sun with your friends and relatives.

However, since teak is very scarce and highly expensive, if anyone is planning to make furniture out of it, care has to be ensured that the furniture making is given to someone who has a special skill of working on teak wood.
