What is a teak coffee table and why teak
Teak is among the most durable timbers there are. The natural oils in the wood protect it against moisture and make it hard-wearing, ideal for a table in daily use. Many teak pieces are made from reclaimed teak, which adds character and a story of its own: no two tables are exactly alike thanks to the unique grain and colour variation. So you get a focal point that is warm, timeless and practical all at once.
Sizing advice: the right table for your sofa
Choose a coffee table that covers around two thirds of the sofa length and leave 30 to 45 cm to the sofa, so you can walk past comfortably and still reach it easily. The ideal height is at or just below the seat height, usually 35 to 45 cm. If you have a corner sofa, a round or square table often works best, because it is easy to reach from several sides.
Choosing shape and specification
The shape determines both the mood and the use. A round teak coffee table looks soft and is safe with children, with no sharp corners. A rectangular model offers more top surface for trays and decoration. A set of two tables at different heights gives flexibility and a playful effect. Also look out for a lower shelf, handy for extra storage or for keeping magazines and remote controls tidy.
Caring for teak
Teak is easy to look after. Dust the table regularly, use coasters and mop up spills straight away. Treat the top once or twice a year with teak oil to deepen the colour and feed the wood. Avoid prolonged direct sunlight, so the colour stays even. With this simple routine your teak coffee table will last for years and keep its warm glow.
