It's Not Just For Outdoors Anymore: Teak Office Furniture
While it is undoubtedly true that teak furniture is thought of -- and used -- primarily out-of-doors, nevertheless you will find more and more offices equipped with teak office furniture. You see, the same qualities that make teak wood ideal for use out-of-doors, make it an ideal wood for use in office furniture: high density, smooth, no-splintering finish, no warping or splitting, long life, etc.
For example, I have recently seen some teak office furniture pieces constructed from African teak. This is a different species of teak wood than that which comes from Asia. In the judgment of some, African teak wood is in fact much more durable than Asian teak, which means that teak office furniture made from African teak will last and last -- perhaps even longer than one persons lifetime.
Of course teak office furniture by definition must be very practical and functional -- and what could be more functional than teak office furniture designed to hold your computer and computer components? Studio RTA manufactures a computer tower -- for just under $100! -- that you (partially) assemble your self. This innovative teak office furniture piece has enough shelving and desk space to hold your display screen, keyboard, system unit, printer, speakers, user manuals etc. It will tuck away quite neatly into any corner of the room.
Another innovative design in teak office furniture is brought to you by BALT -- their pneumatic sit/stand computer workstation. The height of this computer workstation can be adjusted for people who prefer to stand while working at their computer. This piece of teak office furniture would be great to use in an office where a single computer is shared among several different employees, or in offices with a high degree of foot traffic, where sitting is not possible. What about the boss? Well, the folks at BackSaver haven't forgotten -- and have produced a beautiful executive chair constructed from Bordeaux leather on teak wood. This teak office furniture item features premium leather, adjustable arms, and a WonderFoam luxury upgrade in the seat cushion, which is included at no additional cost. Another great offering from BALT is their corner workstation. These are made in a 1/4-pie shape configuration. You can purchase four of these units and cluster them together -- then they will form a complete circle and you will have created an instant workstation group! This teak office furniture unit features a top shelf which is at the perfect height for your computer monitor, while the lower (and wider) shelf provides ample room for the use of your keyboard, mouse and other materials. An additional plus is the fact that this teak office furniture is portable, being equipped with rolling casters on the legs.
