ABOUT TEAK

Here at Scanteak, we are committed to being environmentally conscious in the harvesting of trees and are constantly innovating to minimize wastage of precious teak wood.

Wood - our material of choice

Many have asked in the interest of the environment: why wood furniture, and not plastic, glass or metal? In the same interest, we chose wood (teak wood, in particular) as it is natural, and no harmful chemicals are released in the manufacture of wood furniture such as wooden bed frames, wardrobes, dining table sets etc. Wood can always be repaired, and any unused wood can be recycled. Wood, eventually, is also biodegradable. Best of all, wood can be cultivated naturally.
