Mykonos Curved Sun Lounger

We do not recommend leaving any furniture outdoors without appropriate covering. We strongly advise covering all outdoor furniture when not in use to ensure its longevity.

Exposure to the elements, such as rain, sun, wind, and dust, can cause premature wear and tear on outdoor furniture and textiles, reducing lifespan.

By covering your outdoor furniture when not in use, you can protect it from the elements, preserving its appearance and maintaining its structural integrity.

Please note that outdoor furniture covers are not guaranteed against damage. Following proper care and maintenance instructions is essential to keep your outdoor furniture in good condition.

Regular maintenance is necessary to maintain the quality of outdoor furniture. To maintain timber's beautiful natural appearance and character, we suggest regularly coating it with natural beeswax to repel water. 

Additionally, it is essential to periodically inspect your outdoor furniture and covers for signs of wear and tear and to replace covers as needed.

Following these recommendations, you can enjoy your outdoor furniture for years.

Characteristics

Teak is a dense hardwood with a naturally high oil content, making it highly resistant to moisture, decay, and pests. Its surface may vary in tone and texture, with reclaimed and antique pieces showing unique patina and organic imperfections that evolve over time.

Common Issues or Risks

Prolonged exposure to moisture, direct sun, or fluctuating temperatures may cause drying, fading, or surface cracks. Branch teak contains more porous sapwood and is especially sensitive to humidity. Reclaimed and root teak may shift or lighten with exposure.

Preventative Care

Keep teak furniture in well-ventilated, sheltered spaces when not designed for full outdoor use. Plantation teak can be left outdoors and will weather to a silver-grey. Use coasters, placemats, and risers to prevent stains, heat marks, or moisture build-up. Avoid placing pieces near direct heat or air conditioning.

Cleaning Instructions

Dust regularly with a soft cloth or brush. For general cleaning, use mild soap diluted in water and a damp cloth, then dry thoroughly. Always clean in the direction of the grain. Teak oil can be used to restore golden tones, but should not be applied to weathered surfaces if the grey patina is preferred.

Cautions / What to Avoid

Avoid soaking, pressure washing, or using harsh chemicals, bleach, or abrasive pads. Do not oil reclaimed pieces intended to maintain a rustic or aged look. Branch teak should be monitored in humid settings due to its higher moisture sensitivity.
