Please forgive the cumbersome title, but it really does sum things up very nicely, which we're sure you'll agree after reading this brief piece about teak lawn furniture.
Having a private backyard or garden sanctuary all your own is one of the best things ever.
It becomes your respite away from the incessant pressures of life, a reprieve even from the tumultuous goings-on within your own four walls.
However you lay it out - wood fencing, trellises laden with roses or vines for a combination of privacy and attractiveness, a veritable forest of trees, or enough flowers to stock a parade float, there's one thing that really sets the space off and allows for you and your guests to be truly at ease.
Of course, that thing is lawn furniture.
After all, you can't or don't want to sit on the ground.
It gets muddy and then you get dirty.
And a hard gravel patio is no fun either.
You don't want cheap plastic and metal deck chairs, nor do you want rattan or cheaply made wooden pieces.
In point of fact, you have the budget for one of the furniture market's rarest and best commodities, teak.
Teak in its natural environment is a slow growing (it can take upwards of 50 years for one tree to reach the fullness of its maturity and much sought after look, making it rare indeed!).
However, it is also far more resilient to the ravages of Mother Nature and Time than many other woods that make for no less impressive but far more numerous accompaniments to another's backyard.
Mahogany, cedar, these are only two of the excellent woods available for out-of-doors comfort, but teak trumps them all.
Teak, whether in its living environment or as adornment in your sanctuary, possesses natural oils which ward off insects the elements.
For any other piece, you would need lacquer or stain.
When it comes to teak furniture, you can choose the slightly more processed look of professionally carved benches, tables and chairs, or you can go with teak root furniture.
In this author's humble opinion, root furniture boosts the timeless teak to a whole new level, as it maintains the natural presence, giving it a primal resonance that it will maintain for as long as you keep it.
Benches, tables, chairs - all these things and more can be had in the form of the root furnishings, so the limits of your backyard oasis with its golden-hued teak are only the bounds of your imagination.
Root furniture possesses a far more natural, flowing look than other teak benches.
Carpenters incorporate the teak tree's natural growth into the piece, rather than cut it out.
This means that no two pieces are alike, and even though your root set may be asymmetrical, it will be eternally unique.
Of course if you want to enjoy meals out-of-doors, you can do that too with teak dining furniture.
With the root furniture, you can readily add that certain flair that sets your dining experience beyond the ordinary into the amazing.
Friends and guests will be talking forever about how gorgeous your furniture looks compared to their 'normal-looking' pieces.
Whatever your tastes, whatever your purpose, there's a place and a use for teak furniture.
It's just up to you how great you want your own private little hideaway to be.
