This, of course, is a difficult question to answer, but there are some important guidelines that can help.
The first thing to consider in your purchase of any teak outdoor furniture is the weight and of the product. As a general rule, the heavier the product, the better it is made. (As you may or may not know, good quality teak outdoor furniture is designed to last for generations of continuous indoor and/or outdoor use - with virtually no care on your part.)
A second thing to consider is the reputation of the manufacturer. Who uses their teak furniture? Do they have many repeat customers? Are they willing to show you a list of their most discerning customers?
Another way, but maybe a little less reliable, is to determine at how long this teak furniture manufacturer or supplier has actually been in business. I say this may be a little less reliable because there are now many new quality teak outdoor furniture manufacturers and suppliers that are entering into business every year.
Another question that you may ask is Where does your teak come from? Although most teak outdoor furniture is manufactured in ...
... Indonesia, some of it is harvested outside of government control. (The government of Indonesia requires their legal teak outdoor furniture manufacturers to maintain tree farms which are strictly regulated to assure a never ending supply of new teak trees for use by future generations.)
Another method that you can use is look for customer testimonials on the teak outdoor furniture distributor's site, but this again may be somewhat misleading as it is quite easy to insert most any testimonial here. (Most persons that express delight concerning their teak outdoor furniture are not willing to have the general public contact them, and it is also the teak outdoor furniture distributors' responsibility to protect their privacy.)
But there is one way that works extremely well. When looking at any teak outdoor furniture distributor's site, take time to determine how much information they actually provide concerning this teak outdoor furniture items on their product pages. Do they include links to their product's warrantees and guarantees on each product page? Are their guarantees and warrantees completely defined and easy to understand? Do they provide more than one photo of the product on the product page? Do they show any close-up photos of this product? Do they describe the product completely and thoroughly? Are their prices competitive?
Although there are many other criteria that can also be used to determine the quality of teak outdoor furniture, I sincerely hope that I have provided some valuable guidelines that may help you in your next teak outdoor furniture purchase.
