Some of botanist believed that Teak origins from Burma and spread up to India, Thailand, Philippines and Java but the other said that teak origin from Burma, India, Thailand, and Laos.
Around 70% of the world needs on teak is fulfilled by Burma and the rest are from India, Thailand, Java, Sri Lanka, and Vietnam. The only one resource of natural teak forest comes from Burma.

Benefits of Wood Furniture made from Teak
When home owners have to encounter with severe changes of weather from extreme hot to cold temperature of even rainy season, they always busy with moving their outdoor furniture into the house to protect furniture from bad weather or they have to choose to leave the furniture outside the house but put some waterproof coating on them. However, for people who use teak outdoor furniture is not the case, because the home owners do not have to be busy or worry about moving them inside the house, on the other hand, they just have to leave them there outside the house all year long and provide constantly easy care. The most distinct benefits of teak are durable (about 10 to 20 years at least), light and convenient and easy to maintenance.

Teak is only one type of wood that has magnificent resistant of other condition, which they never be found in any kind of wood, which is they are free from pests, especially termites. Termites are the enemy of almost all kind of wood but not for teak. Teak has very hard texture and also some kind of moisture and oil that termites do not like, so we could not find that teak are destroy by termites and this is also one of the most unique advantage of teak wood furniture. Apart from being a kind of popular wood for home furniture, teak also be used in other function such as marine construction which can guarantee that your outdoor teak furniture will resist to all other kind of weather and climate changes.

Disadvantages
However, even though teak is unique and be able to resist many kinds of threads, you still have to be careful of using them and give proper maintenance. You should not avoid spilling food or drinks on the wood surface. In case if there are unavoidable situation and you have left some spills on them, make sure that you clean it immediately before the spill have become permanent and they will be very difficult to clean. Other disadvantage of teak is only the price, due to teak requires about 30-40 years to grow before they are ready to be harvest so this effect to low supply and this cause the price of teak so expensive, but if you have some money, I suggest you go for it.
