The 100% Sustainably Sourced Teak Is naturally resistant to water, mold, and mildew due to its density and high oil content. It has been the wood of choice for hundreds of years for luxury boat builders. This natural resistance has been supplemented by using our proprietary finishes which is a deep penetrating stain with added mold, mildew, and fungus inhibitors. It provides the ability for the Teak to be used outdoors as well as indoors.
As some others have mentioned there is an area where the stain doesn’t cover or wood bleeding through (not sure) It’s not a big enough reason for me to return it. I just flipped it around to the other side. It’s a well made, sturdy bench.. Pat. Abingdon, MD. Fri Sep 05 2025
