The beauty of handmade furniture is created by the slight imperfections and differences which give it character. Exact symmetry is not the aim. Machines automatically achieve this and the result is somewhat bland and characterless. Wood is a natural product and the finish and colour is never exactly even, that is the beauty of it.

We use 100 year old reclaimed Burmese teak to make our garden furniture. Teak from Burma is renowned for its superior quality and using reclaimed mature wood is really sustainable. Teak will become grey quite quickly and may well crack and split a little as it settles into its new conditions, this will not affect its strength. Rain and sun will weather it and it will gradually become a dark grey. We would suggest a scrub with soapy water in spring to clean it. Its weathered appearance will merge gracefully into its garden surroundings and cutomers often use a tablecloth to brighten it up for meals outside.

We use traditional wrought iron to make our garden furniture, which we paint a dark brown / black. It is very heavy and very strong. Superficial signs of rust in the finish are normal and will not penetrate the metal. Most customers prefer this rustic look in their garden but should you want to keep it looking new, it's quick and easy to paint.

Design Update
The Wrought Iron base of our Teak Garden Table has been updated & improved: the feet of the table are slightly different shape to those which are illustrated - please call us on 0344 9808185 for further information.

Sizes given are approximate, as all our furniture is handmade, exact dimensions of each piece may vary slightly.
