Teakwood Sidetable (from The Home Merchant)

www.thehomemerchant.com



Bought during a moving out sale at The Home Merchant. Quality teakwood stuffs at a low price. The Home Merchant is probably one of the best place other than ScanTeak to buy Teakwood furniture. They carry some of the finest teakwood furniture. Don't believe in cheap teak wood sale from W*******, M***** F******* etc if u are looking for quality teak wood. You can tell the quality of teakwood by:

1) Dark Stained teak wood furnitures are usually low grade wood. They are stained dark to hide the ugly wood grains (Good quality teak wood looks more creamy and golden brown)
2) If u run your hand on low grade teak wood furnitures, some how or another, the wood does not feel smooth and it's not nice to touch. Thus this can easily collect dust.
3) Low quality teak wood furnitures are usually nailed together
4) Pull out the drawers to take a look at the rails of the drawers. Good teakwood furnitures have metal rails and makes it easy to open and close.
5) Always try to lift the furniture up with your hands. Good ones are usually very very heavy.
6)Fine carvings are evidence of good workmanship.
7) Low quality teakwood furniture like from W****** uses young teak (small pieces are thus pieced together to make furniture) or low quality Grade C wood. Highy quality teakwood are of Grade AB.
