01. Choosing the Right Material

Choosing the right material is one of the most important decisions when buying furniture. At
Baba Living, we specialize in premium teak wood furniture because we know it offers
advantages that other woods simply can’t match.

Teak is naturally rich in oils that make it highly resistant to moisture, insects, and decay. This is
crucial in Malaysia’s tropical climate, where rain and humidity can quickly damage less resilient
woods. While many cheaper hardwoods require chemical treatments to survive outdoors, teak is
naturally durable, making it the gold standard for outdoor furniture. Malaysian homeowners
and hospitality brands rely on it.

Another advantage of teak is its stunning appearance. Its warm, golden-brown hue and beautiful
grain patterns bring natural elegance to any space. Unlike many woods that require heavy
staining or finishes to look appealing, teak’s beauty is inherent. And as it ages, it develops a
sophisticated silver-grey patina prized for its character.

Teak is also incredibly strong and stable. It resists warping and splitting, even with temperature
fluctuations. This makes it ideal for everything from dining tables and sofas to outdoor loungers
and benches.

02. Sourcing the Best Teak

At Baba Living, we source our teak responsibly from managed plantations in Central Java,
Indonesia, ensuring sustainability while supporting local artisans who have perfected this craft
over generations. When you choose teak over other woods, you’re choosing durability,
sustainability, and a timeless aesthetic that adds value to your home or business.
