A-grade Indonesian teak, the same dense, oil-rich hardwood trusted by shipbuilders for centuries to withstand open water. Naturally resistant to rot, insects and splitting, it's built for life outdoors without chemical treatment. Left alone, teak weathers gracefully from a rich honey-brown to a soft silver-grey, a look many choose to let happen. For those who prefer to preserve the original tone, a seasonal oiling routine keeps it looking newly cut. Either way, this is a material that ages with character, not one that simply wears out.
