Teak wood is also commonly referred to as the king of wood because of its quality, known as a tall, deciduous tree found in South and Southeast Asia. Growing up to 50 meters and living for 100 years, teak is coveted for its attractive color and grain, durability, strength, resistance to splitting, cracking, termites, fungus, and weathering. It takes at least 25 years to become a mature tree ready for harvest.
