Westminster Teak Barbuda Chair and Ottoman Set

Features

• Like genuine leather and other luxury materials, we’ve come to appreciate, there are varying qualities of teak wood. Furniture uses only premium grade 100% Tectona grandis, teakwood. Only the finest cuts are selected and used in the production of our patio furniture. Much of the lumber used in the cottage industry is of secondary quality which may include sapwood. We use only select kiln-dried teakwood with characteristics that include: straight grain structure, absence of knots, splits or cracks, and, an even tone in color.
• Our process takes about two weeks of kiln drying to achieve a moisture content of about 10% and an additional 3 to 4 weeks or so of ’resting’ to allow the wood to reabsorb moisture in the air. This natural ’ re-absorption of moisture process will ensure that the teak wood regains its dimensional stability and will not warp or split during or after the manufacturing process. This crucial stage of reabsorbing moisture also ensures the stability of the teak outdoor furniture to withstand the rigors of climatic changes.
