Wooden vs Plastic

Furniture, antique or modern, has most often been crafted in wood — and for good reason. See why teak outperforms plastic on every measure that matters.

The teak wood we use is prized not only for its warm feel and polished look, but for its strength and resistance to wear in every season. Teak's natural oils give it excellent water resistance, helping it avoid the decay and insect damage that affects many other woods.

Plastic, by comparison, is the lighter alternative — but rarely as impressive in appearance or feel.
