teak patio furniture , High QUality and Low Quality Teak

There are many suppliers of quality teak wood furniture. Quality teak wood patio furniture manufacturers make their furniture by hand and build it to last a long time. A good warranty 0f 10 years and a money back guarantee of 60 days is also a sign of quality. However, there are also low quality teak that are sold and given the same warranty as well. SO it is wise that you know more about high quality and low quality teak before you make a purchase.

Low quality teak furniture that you have just recently bought from your local store, could start deteriorating in only two to three years as opposed to the quality teak that will last anywhere from 30-50 years. Low quality teak is likely to be more lightweighted, knotted and held together with metal screws and bolts. High quality teak, on the other hand, has a smooth grain and no knots or small pieces glued together.

One way to determine if you have a quality piece of teak furniture is the price. Usually the higher the price tag, the better the product. However, some dealers get around the high price tags by selling in large volume. Another way to determine the quality of your teak furniture is the weight of the product. A quality piece of teak furniture is not light! A quality teak chair will weigh in upwards of 35 to 40 pounds. An inexpensive chair from a discount shop will weigh much lighter. Another sign of quality is that flush mortise and tenon joinery is used in every slat for quality. A quality manufacturer will use kiln dried teak between 10-12% moisture content to make sure it will last a very long time. Some manufacturers will first sand by machine then sand by hand after construction.
