Our Teak Two 5 piece dining set with cushions from the Castello Collection has a modern look that adds both charm and convenience to your space. Each item in this group is solid teak and has a fine, sanded finish for less long-term maintenance as you enjoy it for years to come. The 48 in. Oxford dining table features a slat design, with an umbrella hole, which will accommodate any of our umbrellas. The back frame of the dining chairs features a contoured ladder back with shaker tapered legs. The teak used is plantation grown, European grade teak furniture from FSC-certified upcycled teak wood, gathered from old-growth, FSC-certified forests, across the Indonesian archipelago. The teak wood undergoes a six-week kiln drying process of taking moisture out of the wood. This is important because the moisture in the teak wood is what causes the finished product to shrink or expand with changes in temperature and humidity. Making it one of the most durable materials we carry, teak is the only material with a natural resistance to water, insects, mold, and mildew. Each piece is a combination of machine-made for precision and handmade with traditional Mortise and Tenon construction for smooth and tight joinery to showcase the elements from local artisans.
