  • Staining, or finishing shorea, teak or acacia is not necessary. They will weather naturally to a beautiful silver gray over the course of about two years. If the original color is preferred, teak oil can be applied seasonally to maintain the color. Teak Protector is another option to help to protect and preserve the color.

    Painting or using polyurethane is NOT recommended. Because of the high oil content of the wood, it will not easily take paint. To achieve a painted product, start with a bonding primer and finish with a coat of paint. Do not apply any kind of hard varnish directly to the wood. Please note that the application of paint or polyurethane will void the product warranty.

  • Many of our products arrive in one individual carton, with four to five component parts. A hammer and power screwdriver will be needed. All attachment joints are pre-drilled. Simply place all the components together, drive in 12 solid wood dowels and 4-8 screws and the furniture is ready for use. Tables are assembled with a wrench, which is provided in the hardware pack. Assembly is usually achieved in 15 minutes or less for each piece. The manufacturing process may leave some dust on the furniture. It should be rinsed first with water, before placing on tile or concrete, to prevent staining. If you need more detailed and specific assembly instructions, they are available as a downloadable PDF on the Product Information page for your particular item.
