Outdoor furniture fails in two ways: it cracks when the wood dries and it warps when the wood gets wet. Solid teak resists both, which is the reason this coffee table is cut from it rather than from a cheaper species with a coat of finish on top. Selected stock and careful joinery back that up, so the piece is built for long-term use rather than a single season. The tabletop is slatted, and the gaps do real work: excess water drains away quickly instead of standing on the boards, which is what keeps a horizontal surface from staying wet long enough to matter after rain. Underneath, stable support legs run to reinforced connections at every joint, giving the top a 90-pound rating. Dimensions are 35.5 inches long by 19.5 inches deep and 18 inches tall, a full-size coffee table footprint rather than a small accent piece, so drinks, trays, and books all sit on the same surface with room to reach across for whatever is on it. Every edge is finished smooth, which prevents the accidental scrapes and scratches a rough-sawn outdoor table causes on bare arms and legs. The natural grain shows through instead of being painted over, and that unfinished appearance sits comfortably alongside almost any living space, which is why the table works as readily inside as it does on a patio. Net weight is 17.5 pounds.
