About Shorea wood:

A tropical hardwood grown in southeast Asia, Shorea shares many characteristics with Teak wood except that Shorea is denser and heavier than its counterpart. Like Teak, Shorea is well suited for construction of durable outdoor furniture because it stands up well to weather elements and will develop a naturally protective soft grey finish over time.

Wood for these products has been harvested through select cutting rather than clear cutting. This type of logging can have positive effects on the environment through the removal of damaged or diseased trees, and can improve the forest and bring to market trees that would otherwise decompose. This style of logging also opens up the forest canopy to promote growth of smaller, healthier trees. Branches, snags and other non-marketable parts of the tree provide shelter for wildlife. Without this canopy clearing, underbrush that provides an important food source for mammals may not grow, due to lack of sunlight. When you order this item, you can rest assured it is environmentally friendly.
