Tables

Choose a dining or extension table for meals and entertaining, a folding table for smaller spaces or easier storage, a coffee or side table for lounge areas, and bar or cafe tables for higher seating or compact gathering spaces.

Yes, but the tabletop style matters. Slatted teak tabletops are well suited to outdoor use because water can drain between the slats and the wood has space to expand and contract naturally. Solid-top teak tables can be used indoors or outdoors, but outdoors they should be placed under cover and should not be left with standing water on the top. If water pools on a solid tabletop, wipe it dry to reduce stress from wood movement that can lead to cracking.

A folding table is useful when storage flexibility matters, while an extension table is better when you want one table that can adapt from everyday use to larger meals or gatherings.

For regular care, rinse or wipe as needed, clean only with mild dish soap when necessary, and let the table dry between uses. For solid-top tables used outdoors, keep them under cover and wipe standing water promptly. When teak furniture is exposed to outdoor elements, it can naturally develop an elegant silver-gray patina over time; this color change is normal, is not a defect, and does not compromise the wood's structure. If you prefer to refresh the rich golden tone, rinse with clean water, scrub with a soft-bristle brush using warm water and mild dish soap, work with the grain, rinse thoroughly, let the teak dry completely, then lightly sand with fine 220-grit sandpaper if needed for a smoother surface. ARB Teak products are made exclusively with Grade A teak, so we recommend relying on teak’s natural oils for self-maintenance.
