Why is teak furniture so special?

Teak has historically been considered one of the finest woods in the world. In ancient times only the richest and most powerful people could afford this fine furniture.
The teak tree is native to India, Burma, Laos, and Thailand.
Teak wood is very resistant to temperature changes and is preferred by various industries. Because of its resistance to salt water, teak is commonly used in the manufacture of ships for the naval industry. Its durability has won it a place in many other commercial applications as well.
Teak has a set of unique characteristics that make it naturally very resistant. For example, teak has an average density of 690 kg / m³ and 12% humidity. Also it is a medium/heavy hardwood that is fairly flexible and stands up well to impact and compression. Teak has a high oleoresin content, which is a very valuable property! Oleoresin prevents teak from cracking and rotting and gives it great resistance to environmental stressors such as mold and termites.
