The Ultimate Guide to Choosing the Perfect Teak Table

We’re thrilled you’re considering our high-quality, sustainably-sourced teak furniture for your home. Choosing the right table is an exciting process, and we’re here to guide you every step of the way.

Here’s everything you need to know to pick out the perfect table for your space!

Why Teak?

You might be wondering, Why teak? Well, teak is a superstar material that’s naturally durable, resistant to weather, and super low maintenance — perfect for any outdoor setting. Plus, it’s beautifully rich in colour and texture, and will age like fine wine, gaining a unique silver patina over time.

Teak’s weather-resistant properties make it the perfect choice for garden benches, loungers, and dining sets that will stand up to sun, rain, and everything in between.

Step 1: Think About Space

Before you get too excited (we totally get it, teak furniture is beautiful!), take a moment to measure your space. Whether you’re filling a large deck or or furnishing a small balcony, the priority is choosing furniture that fits.

• Measure your area to ensure a perfect fit — leave some room to breathe around your proposed table if you can - 90cm clearance on all sides is comfortable, but of course that is often not possible!
• Consider how many people will be using the furniture and with what frequency. Our dining tables come in different sizes to accommodate everything from intimate dinners to large family feasts.  Our extending range is popular for being able to cover both bases - keep the table in its shorter position for  every day table use, and extend when you are entertaining.
• Where will it live when not in use?  All of our furniture is made to live outdoors year round, but if you prefer to store under cover in the winter months we have some folding options which are great space savers.

Step 2: Pick Your Style

We offer a range of designs to suit different tastes. Whether you’re into modern, minimalist vibes or prefer a more traditional look, you’ll find something that suits your personality and space.

• Sleek & Modern: If clean lines and contemporary flair are your thing, check out our minimalist-inspired designs such as our Foxglove Table & Bench Set
• Classic & Timeless: For those who love a bit of charm and history, our traditional pieces bring a sense of nostalgia and classic beauty to any space.  Something like the Lily Table may suit you.

Step 3: Order & Delivery

Once you’ve made your choice, it’s time to order. Our team will carefully prepare and deliver your new teak table, usually within 1-2 weeks. You'll hear from us shortly after your order to confirm a delivery day and window and whether there are any special delivery instructions. Tables are delivered free of packing and fully assembled, unless requested otherwise or access does not allow for it. If you have any questions about delivery times or have any special requirements, don’t hesitate to get in touch.

Step 4: DON'T Treat Your Teak

One of the best things about high quality, kiln-dried teak is that it looks after itself. The teak will age in the first 6 months of being outside to a silver-gray patina.  This is a natural weathering process (that no product will stop!) and does not affect the strength of the table.  You'll receive a little Care leaflet with your order that has a few handy tips to keep your furniture looking top-notch and working smoothly!
