Benefits of Teak over other species
Teak has a very high natural oil and silica content that makes it extremely pest and rot resistant.
For centuries teak has been used for indoor and outdoor applications and it is not uncommon to find buildings, furniture and boats made of teak that are well over 100 years old and still in good condition.
Add to this the very obvious aesthetic appeal teak has over other species that are also pest and rot resistant and it makes the perfect material for furniture.
