This collection is crafted from sustainably harvested teak wood, selected for its natural beauty and durability. Teak hardwood contains natural oils that repel insects, prevent drying, and resist moisture. Teak is also resistant to fungal decay, rotting, and warping due to temperature or humidity. Artisan-crafted finishes are applied by hand, using pigment and a wire brush to create subtly distressed appearances. Small imperfections may expose underlying teak wood. If left uncovered, finishes will gradually fade after a season of use. Exposed teak will gradually acquire a beautiful silvery-grey patina (typical of untreated teak wood), adding unique character to your piece. Protect your outdoor furnishings with resilient Sur Last® covers—specifically tailored to fit Arhaus outdoor collections. Speak to a design consultant for details.
