Our furniture is mostly made of teakwood, our dinnertable+chairs and huge cabinet are made of old re-used teakwood. It was apparently used in houses in Indonesia or something (at least, that's what we're told) so it's old, won't come apart etc. Great! But our floor, tsk me, is made of politically really incorrect Tauari wood which comes from a rainforest in Brazil *shame shame*. We heard that when they delivered it, before that they told us it was very correct wood. It's really pretty but incorrect. And we won't do business with that woodseller anymore, nor recommend him to anyone.
