Product Options

We offer this piece in five finishes, with Natural Teak and Dark Stain as standard finishes; and Black, Y4 Light Walnut, and Z4 Dark Walnut as premium finishes.

All five finishes begin with hand-sanding the wood with progressively finer grits of sandpaper. The Natural Teak is finished with a hard wax oil that brings out the wood’s golden-brown colour. The Dark Stain, Y4 Light Walnut, and Z4 Dark Walnut (with the latter two being specially developed proprietary shades) all receive a waterborne stain, followed by three coats of compatibility-tested hydro-oil.

In the Black finish, the wood is sprayed with an eco-friendly, waterborne paint, followed by a waterborne top-coat sealant that leaves the grains and patterns visible.

Please note that each batch of teak is unique and actual shade may vary from the reference images.
