Comparing Teak Furniture Quality
We realize you have many options in purchasing outdoor furniture, and we appreciate your consideration of Gardenside Teak in your selection process. Many customers wonder why there can be a large range of prices for what looks to be the same or similar item in a website or catalog photo. In a photograph, it is easy to see similar styles of furniture that seem comparable, but it is difficult to see the details that separate high-quality furniture from low-quality goods made to compete on price alone. For example, an item might have a product weight of only 40 lbs. at one company, while another that looks the same weighs 50+ lbs. This happens when a company uses smaller, thinner pieces of teak to make a similar looking item. If the heavier item uses over 20% more teak, it may cost 20% more, as well… but it lasts much longer.
Gardenside furniture will last for many years and look as good in real life as it does in photos. Cost-cutting measures such as lower-grade teak wood, thin pieces of lightweight teak, poor-quality craftsmanship, and joint work “repaired” using wood patch may not be noticeable in photos, but are very noticeable when the furniture is seen in person, or when the wood patch in the joints falls out after the first rain. Companies selling items based on price alone generally do so by selling lower-quality goods with those types of flaws.
Gardenside furniture is made using top-grade teak wood (First European Quality), and our furniture is made with precision craftsmanship. Before making any purchase, we encourage you to compare our quality, our product weights, our reputation and our prices with other well-established, high-quality manufacturers. For more information, or if you have any questions, please call us at 1-888-999-TEAK.
Please note that all weights listed in our catalogs and websites are product weights. Actual ship weights are higher as a result of packaging materials.
