I purchased number of chairs, tables, ottomans, seat cushions, pillows, an umbrella, umbrella stand, and an outdoor rug from The Teak Patio two years ago. I shopped around and found that their designs were well thought out, and the quality of their pieces was the best that I could find. Their prices were also good, especially given the quality of their teak furniture, and the quality to price ratio was the highest I found.
I purchased the green "dupione" cushions that The Teak patio has custom made for its pieces, and it was well worth it. They look great, and are very comfortable. My guests love to sit in them. The bottom cushions are somewhat firm, and the back cushions are softer, and more plush.
The teak that the furniture is made of is untreated (i.e. it's not stained or sealed), and will turn grey over time unless treated with a sealer. Any purchaser should consider using Semco sealer (sold by The Teak Patio) with UV protection in it to seal the wood, and protect it from oxidation and stains. I had The Teak Patio apply the first coat of Semco sealer for me before they delivered the pieces. I use the "Natural" sealer that gives the wood a very slight natural tint, and has some UV sun protection in it. Since my purchase two years ago, I've reapplied the sealer annually (twice so far), and it puts a very nice finish on the wood.
The sealer is "pricey" (about $30.00 a quart), but not much is needed to reseal the furniture. I have eleven pieces of teak furniture that I have resealed, and it took only about 6/10th's of a quart of sealer each time, wiped on generously with a rag, to reseal the furniture. It's easy to wipe on with a rag.
I also bought furniture covers for each piece from the Teak Patio, and I leave the covers on when I'm not using the furniture. The covers are a light beige, look nice, and do a good job of protecting the furniture. Covers are also available online from The Cover Store.
Dominic at the Teak Patio helped me with my purchases. He was very knowledgable and courteous, and I found him very helpful. Bob, the store's owner, was also very helpful. I had Dominic deliver the furniture, and bring it into my back yard. He was out to my home for the delivery within a day or two after the purchase and the first application of sealer, and did a great job.
I also purchased an outdoor rug to place the furniture on (see photo above), and that added a nice visual touch. However, within the last two years, the rug discolored (to be expected given that it's been outdoors), and began to come apart, which was unexpected given the initial price of the rug, and that it was specifically made to be an outdoor rug. I just recently replaced it with a less expensive, but nice looking rug I found online.
Overall, my experience with the Teak Patio has been a very pleasant one. The teak furniture is very well made, and the cushions are very nice. The teak furniture is classic, and makes it very comfortable for my guests to lounge around in. I'm very happy with my purchases. read more
