• A very large percentage of furniture coming out of Indonesia comes from the cottage industry. With exceptionally low labor cost, ’handmade’ teak furniture there could be produced at a price we in the US could hardly get for the cost of lumber. ’Cottage-industry’ in Indonesia -- usually operated through a loose network of home-based carpenters, craftsmen and artisans where entire families work on a particular type of teak furniture -- also means there are no actual quality control procedures or processes to follow. There are no set guidelines in the selection of even basic raw materials such as teak wood, which very likely do not come from certified plantations. This makes the sourcing of the teakwood by both local and international standards, illegal. There are no set manufacturing production standards and procedures to follow and no modern equipment such as commercial kilns and modern plant tools and equipment, etc. These places lack the most basic modern tools we take for granted. So, the next time you shop for teak garden furniture, or any other hardwood furniture, floor or lumber for that matter, ask for the source. We know exactly where ours come from.
