This table is made from solid, distressed teak wood. Knots, checking, and other imperfections give each piece its own unique character - no two items are exactly alike. When exposed to the elements, items in the rustic finish will form a beautiful. Pieces in the finish are recommended for outdoor covered use. If left uncovered, the finish on the wood will wear away. Once the finish has worn off, exposing the unfinished teak to the elements, the wood will begin to acquire the patina that is typical of untreated teak.
