What is Reclaimed and PlantationTeak?

Our goal is to provide our customers with heirloom furniture without harming the ecology, the people or their traditions. The factories we use work with the families to not only purchase and dismantle their current wood home, but also help them build a new brick home which is stronger and safer in the elements. Many families in Indonesia only dream of having a new brick home and this helps them achieve their dream. In turn, as our customers, you receive new, unique, quality teak wood furniture without damage to the rain forest, while helping to provide safe and durable homes for families in Indonesia. Once the factory purchases and dismantles the homes, they re-use every part of the house to create and build our unique furniture. The teak wood is used "as-is" in its rustic form, or planed down for a smoother finish. All of our furniture is hand crafted and finished with hand-rubbed stain.

Plantation teak is actually farmed from areas that the government put aside for the growing and farming of teak wood, so it is not taken from the rainforest or other natural habitats.
