Teak Furniture: Why You Might Pay More

by guestpost on January 18, 2010

Two tables side by side in a furniture store look basically the same. The price for table A is considerably higher than the second option. Why is that? Teak furniture is more expensive than other woods because it is much more durable than other options and because it is an investment. Another reason that the teak furniture might be so expensive is because it has to be brought in from distant lands, which contributes to its high cost. Considering how long it can last, though, it is well worth the price. If you buy a table that will be worn out, wobbly or damaged beyond repair in 10 years, will you feel you are getting your investment back? Or would you prefer a table that will last 20 years or longer to get your money’s worth?
