Our teak products are made from an environmentally friendly Teak Plantation in Jakarta, Indonesia. The plantation is regulated by a government agency called Perum Perhutani who set guidelines as to the number and size of trees which can be harvested, as well as the numbers of trees which are replanted to maintain the productivity of the teak forests for future generations. Teak wood is an extremely dense, coarse-grained hardwood, found primarily in India, Burma, Thailand, Indochina and Java. Tectona grandis is the Latin name for Teak, and Jati is the Indonesian name for Teak. A common fact about the characteristic of teak is its durability. The high level of resinous oil present in the timber helps to act as a natural insect repellent, making the wood highly resistant to rot caused by fungal decay or attack by termites and other wood boring insects.  Our designs have properly spaced, generous back slats, raised seat heights, and well-proportioned components. Our teak furniture is crafted of kiln-dried teak, pegged mortise and tenon joinery, and are constructed for optimum strength and durability. Our teak products are finished with a single treatment of light teak oil before packaging.

Tectona grandis is not a timber from tropical rain forests, and indeed, teak cannot grow in rain forests - it is a deciduous tree which grows particularly well in the dry, hilly terrain typical of plantation forests in Southeast Asia. Specifically in Java Indonesia, Perum Perhutani is the government agency which is responsible
