Teak furniture and tables made of teak
Why teak furniture is the best option for your house
Teak is gaining popularity increasingly. This type of wood has a historical legacy stemming from the native people of the Asian continent. Its name originates from the Malayalam language, traditionally denoting the wood as “tekka,” which is the source of the English word “teak” now commonly used in German. Teak comes from the monsoon forests of South and Southeast Asia and has been utilized for constructing ships and homes for thousands of years in those regions. This is attributed to the wood’s unique qualities: in these areas, it is regarded as a hardwood due to its high fiber density and narrow grain structure, making it exceptionally durable and weather-resistant. The presence of a substantial amount of rubber on the wood’s exterior makes it challenging for liquids to penetrate the wood, which is why teak is commonly used for crafting outdoor furniture.
The very tall, single-trunk structure of the teak tree allows for maximum utilization of the felled tree. Owing to its high natural oil content, the wood not only dries without cracking or splitting but also is highly resilient and easy to maintain, which is particularly valued by customers who prefer minimal maintenance of their furniture.
Nonetheless, regular care for teak furniture is still beneficial!
Maintaining and looking after teak tables
The time and effort required to care for teak furniture depends largely on whether it is used indoors or outdoors. Outdoor furniture, such as garden tables and benches made of teak, is constantly exposed to the elements. UV rays, rain, and frost contribute to teak furniture developing a characteristic gray patina. Many customers appreciate this color, but specific teak care can help prevent further effects of weathering. This involves addressing concerns such as cracks that often develop at the ends of individual components, such as arms and legs, due to inadequate upkeep of the wood. Since even small cracks can expand over time and render the furniture unusable, it is advisable to provide care for outdoor teak furniture every 6 months. It is recommended to use a care oil that slightly darkens the wood surface but offers comprehensive and effective protection.
Indoor teak furniture also requires regular attention. Particularly, items such as dining tables or coffee tables that are used frequently and are exposed to liquids (e.g., a spilled glass of red wine, coffee spills, or splashes of soup) should be shielded from potential stains. A teak finish seals the surface and prevents liquids from seeping into the wood. Promptly wiping off spilled liquids typically prevents stains! Existing stains or darker patches can be easily eliminated using fine sandpaper and other teak care treatments.
Individual pieces of furniture can also be specially treated with a teak finish, as this does not alter the wood’s natural color, in contrast to most care oils intended for teak garden furniture.
Why teak furniture is the ideal option for your home
A wide array of furniture is now being crafted from teak. Contrary to the beliefs of many customers, the durable and weather-resistant wood is not limited to the production of garden furniture. Lavish collections for indoor spaces are also being created. At daslagerhaus, we always strive to offer you the broadest range of teak furniture.

Recycled and vintage teak
As you browse our teak furniture collection, you will inevitably encounter terms such as “Recycled Teak,” “Old Teak,” or simply “Aged Wood.” Nonetheless, as anticipated, these items are not discarded or rare. On the contrary, this wood is meticulously chosen by our furniture designers and integrated into their collections because of its unique character and appearance. Aged teak is sourced from buildings, farms, and ships in the Asian continent that are no longer in use. However, since this sturdy wood is still usable, it undergoes a complex recycling process and is reintegrated into the manufacturing process instead of being wasted, as it is a valuable natural resource.
When you purchase this furniture, you are not only helping to preserve the trees on earth, but you also have the right to consider your teak furniture as “living”. As a result, irregularities in the structure, discoloration, small cracks, knots, and nail holes should not be seen as “flaws” but as signs of the wood’s unique history.
Brushed Teak – Surface Treatment
Many of our teak furniture pieces are available in a sanded or brushed version. Sanded furniture has a smooth, uniform surface and a classic appearance. In contrast, the brushed surface has a rougher texture. In this version, a special brush is used to remove the soft sapwood, making the wood harder and giving it a more lively look and feel. This type of furniture can complement country-style and modern interiors alike. It brings a natural accent to modern living concepts and accentuates the individual characteristics of the wood. Applying teak wood care with a brush ensures that the deeper areas receive sufficient care product.
Teak furniture with FSC certification
Many customers have worries about buying teak furniture due to reports of teak tree felling contributing to the destruction of tropical rainforests. Manufacturers are keen on preserving and protecting our natural resources. That’s why we exclusively offer teak furniture that is FSC certified. The Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) is an independent organization that certifies wood products from forestry companies supporting sustainable forestry. This means ALL our teak furniture is sourced only from production facilities that use teak from plantations, not naturally growing rainforests.

The dining table comes with a solid wood table top (+/- 3 cm thick) and sturdy block legs as standard. The table legs measure 80 x 80 cm, with deviations of +/- 8 cm. For tables measuring 200 x 100 cm or more, deviations can be +/- 9 cm. Tables with a table top length exceeding 300 cm have slightly thicker legs. These dimensional variations occur because all tables are crafted by hand.

The panels are carefully mounted to prevent cracks in the wood. All dining tables can be easily assembled and disassembled.

Easy maintenance
Maintaining this teak table is straightforward. You can either leave it untreated for a natural look or treat it with oil. Leaving it untreated preserves the natural appearance of the table, although some stains may appear. These can be easily removed with a sponge and a little “green soap/mild soap”. Alternatively, applying oil to the table means treating it just once and then wiping it with a damp cloth. However, the wood will darken slightly over time.
Sturdy table legs made of solid teak block and a solid table top
This teak table comes in a standard version with sturdy block table legs and a solid table top, approximately 3cm thick, made of the highest quality. The table leg thickness is about 8x8cm for a 80x80cm table, 9x9cm for a 200x100cm table, and sometimes even thicker for a 300x100cm teak table. All tables are meticulously handmade using traditional methods, so the measurements might not be exact to the centimeter.
Exceptional craftsmanship!
Our teak tables are crafted not only from high-quality teak wood, but also boast exceptional craftsmanship. Each table features additional brackets on the bottom, and the table top is installed in a way that prevents cracking and allows for disassembly. The table legs are fastened to the table top, meaning that even if you reside on the 3rd floor, you can still purchase a teak table.
