Teak Finish Coffee Tables

Teak wood coffee table or teak finish

A teak wood coffee table is made from teak, a dense tropical hardwood. The tables here are solid acacia, another durable hardwood, finished in a teak color, so they bring the warm teak look to a patio, deck or porch. Finishes run from a light teak to a sandblasted rustic tone, and some tops are treated specifically for outdoor use. Covering or storing a table during heavy or repeated wet weather keeps the finish looking good longer.

Teak outdoor coffee table sizes and heights

Rectangular tables run from 37 to 50 inches wide and 18 to 24 inches deep. Square tables are 29.5 or 32.5 inches on a side, and the wicker oval table is 47.2 by 25.6 inches. Heights vary more than you might expect: the 10.3 and 12.5 inch tables sit low beside deep lounge seating, the 13.8 to 15.4 inch tables line up with most outdoor sofas, and the 17.8 to 18 inch tables sit close to a standard seat height.

Teak coffee table outdoor styles

Slatted tops on most of these tables let rain drain instead of pooling. Industrial styles set an acacia top on iron legs with a rustic metal finish, from 43 to 50 inches wide, and the 50 inch table needs no assembly. The 40 inch table with curved legs holds up to 292 pounds, the low square table up to 240 pounds, and the oval table pairs a slatted acacia top with light brown hand-woven wicker over metal bracing.

Caring for a teak coffee table finish

Wipe the top with a damp cloth and mild soap, then let it dry fully. Keep the legs out of standing water, use a cover in the off season, and move the table under a roof during long wet spells. Reseal or re-oil the wood as the finish starts to fade so the acacia keeps its warm teak color.
