The BLOCK aged teak outdoor dining table has a natural look that is rustic in appearance that is very fashionable. It is made from new teak that is chosen and treated to look like reclaimed timber.

The table is completely made from teakwood slats that are SLVK certified. This means the teak is certified using Indonesian legal wood in its production, You will find the SVLK sticker (with SVLK number) on every carton. SVLK is: national timber legality assurance system SVLK (Sistem Verificasi Legalitas Kayu) is the acronym of Indonesia's national timber legality assurance system, which is a mandatory legality and sustainability certification system built on a national multi-stakeholder consensus.

It has a strong presence by virtue of its thick plank effect, and trestle style legs.

This teak outdoor table is manufactured to have a visual "block" effect, but is actually relatively light thanks to the hollow cores of the table top and legs.

Finished in:

.  "Original" finish, which has a golden hue achieved by a light stain colour.

.  "Drift" finish, bleached look, which is similar colour to fresh pine.

Both of the above finishes will eventually grey off to a silver patina under normal UV exposure, if you wish to maintain a golden colour on your table, this will involve applying a coloured stain periodically to the wood.

** Table clearance 68.5cm to underside of table

Span between the table legs is 145cm

Characteristics of teak:

SLVK certified teak is Indonesian legal wood.

The Block collection uses "rustic" looking timber slats that have an intentionally imperfect appearance.

Teakwood is a natural material and fine cracks in the end grain of components, e.g. legs and laminated tops, may appear due to changes in temperature and humidity and the consequent change in moisture content of the wood. Small fissures will open in the end grain, this is known as checking. This is normal, especially in heavier components and it will not affect the serviceability of your furniture.

Left to age naturally outside, teak will gradually change from its original colour to a soft, silver-grey as the pigments in the surface layer of the wood begin to fade away.

We recommend that you allow your teak furniture to weather naturally this way and simply clean thoroughly once or twice a year with Teak Cleaner to remove accumulated dirt.

Materials:

Teak: Tectona Grandis

High quality teak wood planks are used in the manufacture of this outdoor dining table. Planks are laminated for dimensional stability, then go through a secret manufacturing process to recreate an "antique" finish. Over time it will naturally age to a silver colour, but the dark hue can be maintained by applying coloured teak oil.

Being a high quality hardwood, it will ensure long term use in our extreme NZ seasons.

Product Care:

Teak: no particular care is required, unless if you want to keep the dark brown hue. In this case, regularly oil the table with a suitable high quality teak wood stain/preserver.

If dark, black patches develop on the teak surface, this is due to the growth of mold on the table. This can happen if the table is in an area where there is a lot of tree growth and mold spores are present in the air. If the table stays wet for a period of time, the mold spores can grow in these damp conditions. It is not a sign that the wood is rotting. Treatment can be effected by cleaning with a mild bleach solution. Alternatively, it can be sanded off.
