Teak has been used for centuries for building construction, shipbuilding and furniture construction. Teak furniture has withstood the test of time in public areas around Teak is beautiful!
How is the wood finished?
Domus Designs offers the full line of furniture in natural teak finish. Natural teak will gradually change to a beautiful silver gray patina with exposure to the elements. Alternately, we offer a teak protector with UV and mildew resistant agents that will prolong the honey gold color of natural teak. This type of protectant will not darken like oil. For additional information, see our Care of Teak section.

What about the quality? Teakwood is commercially available from the Indonesian Government in several grades. The best furniture quality grade is "Mutu Pertama" or "First Quality" which means that the lumber is taken from the best part of the log with tight grain and no loose knots or checks. Furniture from Domus Designs uses "First Quality" teak exclusively. All lumber is kiln dried before manufacturing and assembly. Our furniture is precision machine cut from heavy timbers and uses the time proven mortise and tenon or tongue and groove joinery methods. Structural joints are doweled and glued with waterproof polyurethane furniture glue for a lifetime of vigorous outdoor use. Fasteners and metal fittings are all made to our specifications of heavy solid brass and stainless steel materials. For more information please see our Quality section.
Does the furniture require assembly?
To reduce shipping and storage cost, most furniture is shipped “Knocked Down” or KD. Depending on the model, a few pieces are shipped fully assembled and require no further assembly. Tables and most benches and chairs are shipped knock down. All Domus Designs KD furniture is pre-assembled in the factory and then disassembled for packing. All items can be assembled in less than an 30 minutes without any special skills, using the included tools or household tools. Please see our Assembly section for more details.

How much does it cost to ship the furniture? To keep our prices low we calculate the shipping cost separately from the price of our products. This allows us to charge shipping at actual cost rather than a cushioned average. We will calculate and inform you of the exact cost when you place an order with us. Shipping costs have several factors such as weight, volume and distance. Grouping more items in a single shipment can help to reduce the average shipping cost.
