Buying teak table and chairs for garden - What and who do you recommend????

[loveyouradvice]

Just that really....

First time I've done it... and it's a big investment....

Something like this table for 8-10 - or perhaps a bit pricier....
Chairs comfortable and easy to store.

What do you recommend? And who's good to buy from??
We've quite a lot of space but not for winter storage
What kind of chairs do you find comfortable?
What else should I think about?

A table like this?
Chairs like this? ........ Or these, with a kink in the back?

Surely someone????

I bought a set from here. The stacking chairs are very comfortable, some of the tables fold up. The salesman said it's fine to leave outside all year if you need to. Can't speak yet to its longevity sorry

Graham and Green to lovely teak tables.

I would not recommend buying an endangered tropical hardwood.

Don't buy teak. There is no sustainable teak you can buy. It just grows too slowly. There are other types of wood. Just so you are informed. Obviously you can buy teak still. But I don't think it should even be legal to sell it.

Please find an alternative. Teak-rich rainforests are being felled an an alarming rate - they are literally the lungs of your planet. Thankfully there are lots of sustainable alternatives.

You need to look for someone who uses reclaimed teak.

I'm sorry I can't recommend anyone, as I've swerved teak (even plantation teak is a bad option, native just awful), but I think you can find reclaimed / re-used

Okay.... All the ones Im looking at say sustainable so I am guessing although they replant it is just too slow???

What alternatives do you recommend?

I've seen some reclaimed but didnt look that great ....

I recommend Lister teak. I've had some of ours over 40 years and it will last a hundred more.
