Teakwood, being a natural material, possesses a naturally high oil content, providing stability and resistance to rot in varied climates. Due to changes in temperature and humidity, fine cracks, known as checking, may appear in the end grain of components such as legs and laminated tops. This is a normal occurrence, especially in heavier components, and it does not impact the functionality of your furniture. Embrace the inherent characteristics of Teak wood, where these subtle nuances contribute to the unique charm of the material. We do not recommend moving teak furniture from the garden straight into a heated indoor room for storage, as the sharp differences in temperature and humidity may cause the wood to split.
