The reasons why teak outdoor furniture is expensive: the demand of the high-end market (people with high-quality life and unique aesthetics are willing to pay high prices for high-quality products), the scarcity of wood resources (the growth cycle of high-quality teak is as long as decades or even hundreds of years), and the competition in the international market.

How to identify teak furniture: 1. Observe the color and wood grain (real teak furniture has natural color, fine and uniform wood grain, with fine black mineral lines) 2. Touch the texture (real teak furniture has a smooth surface, warm texture, and feels delicate to the touch) 3. Smell the smell (teak furniture has a light natural fragrance, not a pungent chemical smell) 4. Check the weight (teak furniture is heavier and feels heavy) 5. Check the origin (teak is mainly produced in Southeast Asian countries such as Myanmar, Thailand, Indonesia and Laos).
