The Sutton Coffee Table by Oxford Garden brings you a modern outdoor seating centerpiece crafted from traditional materials. The Shorea wood used in the construction of this table is similar to teak and will ensure years of lasting quality. It features a slat-style top and uniquely shaped legs. The mortise and tenon joint construction adds strength and longevity to the piece.
About Shorea Wood
Shorea is possibly the best wood choice for outdoor furniture. Related to Burma teak, this hardwood grows naturally and plentifully in the Pacific Rim countries, making it considerably less expensive than teak. Because shorea contains an abundance of natural oils, is dense, heavy and hard, it is highly resistant to rot, bug infestation, weather and marring.
Shorea is strong and weather-resistant enough to be left untreated. If left untreated, each piece will weather to a nice shade of gray. The weathering process will change the color, but the grain will still be smooth. There is no splitting or splintering. You may treat each piece of your set with Teak Oil to prolong weathering. Each piece is durable, classic and elegant.
An Eco-Friendly Choice
We realize the importance of preserving our environment. Our Shorea wood is imported from Java, which is diligently managed by its government to ensure wise, renewable harvesting and fair prices. Rest assured you are making a responsible choice when you purchase this set crafted from Shorea.
