Sustainability
Royal Teak Collection's products are made throughout Southeast Asia, where strict guidelines set by local governments to combat deforestation are followed. Royal Teak Collection uses sustainably sourced teak by using government-managed Indonesian Legal-Wood in products made in Indonesia and sustainably sourced FSC Certified Teak in products made in other parts of Southeast Asia. This is done with the goal of benefiting not only the forests where teak is sourced from but also the people and local economies.

Weathering Process
As teak ages outdoors, it will gradually turn from the natural honey color to a silver-grey patina due to sunlight. This process can start happening within the first month but will continue over several months to a year to fully patina based on how much sunlight the furniture is exposed to. During this time, grains may appear to raise due to the natural expansion and contraction of the wood. They will lay back down and smooth out over time as the teak continues its aging process.
As teak contracts or expands due to heat and moisture, grains may separate, causing small hairline cracks. Hairline cracks, also known as “checking,” are common in teak as it ages. These cause no structural damage and will smooth out over time.
